Little work this week. Set rivit nuts for bulk head, since the body did not have any. The hand tool sure made a difference,.

 

[ehumaui]

Also had the muffler shop redo the exhaust 2 to 1 to a magnafow

 

[ehumaui]

I installed bulk head

Fitted half cab. On and off body so many times. Scratched and chipped paint. Not to happy. Soft doors now dont work. No room to adjust. May be not a good idea to change a truck that was not set up for a half cab?

You've been a busy guy there Russell!
Obviously been awhile since I've stopped by, since the last thing I remember is the body still on the rack, and not on the frame! Gonna have to do a drive-by one of these days.

Keep on it. It's "almost" there...

That rig is sweet, perfect color, always liked the look of a slammed half cab.
Keep up the good work , almost at the finish line.

Half cab looks much better than the soft top.

After a cool down period, clear head and back on it today.
Unbolted bulkhead and refitted the soft window frames. Adjusted to fit. Had to shim the body to get the top to lay flat. Rebolted the bulkhead back on. I have a 1" gap at the sides. Will fill with something latter. Still have a slight lift a right front corner.

Enough for today.
