set the cab on the frame........
wow, i was as excited as a little kid at disney land.......... had to do some deep breathing to keep myself calm.
really, the sling i made worked very well. no damage to anything and it went very quick and smooth.
so it's pretty dang tall (but only about 3" clearance between oil pan and front axle. and it's sitting about 1" higher in the front than i'd like (i hope the weight of the everything left to install will drop it down)
couple pics.....

Wow!!!
The truck just keeps looking tougher and tougher! I can't wait to see a front clip on it. I wouldn't worry about the 1" in the front, I'll be the rest of the sheetmetal will take care of most of it.
Now wipe that silly grin off your face and get back to work

Your truck is amazing. I really like the color as well. Your doing a great job. Shop looks great to. What is the ceiling height in your garage. I have been thing about putting a "I" beem accrossed mine. My heighth is 12 foot tall. I would have to brace under the 2 X 4 sidewalls as my block goes up 8' then 4' side walls on top of that. I would like to be able to move side to side and up and down like you are.
