Dash disassembled and tagged today. Picked up axles and leaf springs from powdercoaters today. They had a problem with the clear sticking to the green.

Not really a big deal just had to switch from gloss black to 20% gloss so it did not look too funny with flat and gloss on the drivetrain.
Will post pics tomorrow...its gonna look awesome.

Finished up welding the new cab support. Best part is I finally got my axles and leaf springs back. All in a flat Army green. Reassembled springs and ordered fuel and brake lines along with poly bushings for the leafs.

I dont get why the pics wont come out bigger. I did resize them.
