Cab is all stripped out, ready to lift off. It seems to take forever to get everything out of there! BTW, if anyone could use about 8 gallons of turpentine, I think that is what is left in the gas tank after ten years!

Body is now off, thanks to my brother-in-law and his tractor. Beats manual labor any day! Cab will probably be replaced, we'll see about the bed.

Well, it's official: I'm now the owner of FOUR Ford pickups! At least temporarily. I picked this up this 68 from one of the members of the Nebraska Chapter who owns a salvage yard. The cab is in excellent shape, only a litte surface rust on the floors. The rockers are clean, and the cab mounts look to be in good shape. Can't use the bed, the floor is shot, but I may cut off some of the cab sides to use as patch panels for my bed. Better those than aftermarket peices.

Went and found a 79 to pilfer parts from this weekend. Took the whole front axle, with the disc brakes, the power steering pump and box, and the power brake booster. Also cut out the fuel door, I'll weld this to the side of the bed, once I find a frame tank.

After using metal prep on the frame, coated it with POR-15. Note to those thinking of using POR-15, don't use cheap sponge brushes, unless you have a TON of them on hand!

I'd heard how nasty POR-15 was to get off of the skin, so this is what I wore during application. I borrowed a cool hood from here at work, to keep my head somewhat dry. Basically, it's like a bicycle helmet with a battery powered fan in it, and a hood over it. Worked out really well!

Leafs back from the powder coater, and reassembled. I'm going to redo the clamps, coat them, and put in some rubber strips. Also got the U-joints replaced in the front axles. It was a mother to get the old ones out. Had to use the blue wrench to heat them up.
