Been a while since I posted last. Been busy and haven't been on my computer much. Downloaded a forum app, let's see how it works.
Body work began, some iffy sand blasting done so I took it back to get straightened out.
While unloading the cab one of the blocks was tipped on the stand I made, well the cab slipped and crushed my thumb.....
Got the transmissions back. Painted the 5 speed. There was no bearing available for the DT-OD Spicer so I'm having a friend make a bushing from oil impregnated bearing bronze.

Enough with the gore... back to the truck!

Bought some Eastwood supplies to coat inside the rockers and cab corners, any double panels I could get into.
Patched the box end cap
.
Hoping to keep steady progress now! Next step is get the transmission in and the body on the frame and keep the body work going.
Glad to see this build still moving forward. I looked at trying to stuff a DT466 in a 76 Ford Crew Cab but things and life got in the way. Glad to see someone else making the swap happen.
Also I couldnt see any of the pictures from middle of page 9 and back. I can see everything after that. Either way thanks for the build thread.
