Default Big day for the 30 pickup in the morning

Troops are all comin over in the morning to transfer the cab to the frame. Any last suggestions? Stearings out, brake and clutch l, gear shift off, mounting holes marked, took the rear wheels off to lower the truck, padded 2x4's to set the cab on, everything zip tied on the fire wall out of the way. Fenders and aprons are locked in, front splash apron on. I feel like Im havin a baby lol.

I know you probably did, but hope you covered up the "open" transmission??? Just in case...well you know what I mean.

Frame to fender/splash apron welting down in the proper spots?

The "baby" ain't born yet...still developing!

Pluck

putting the cab on my 31 pu was a big moment for me also. i was so afraid those clumsy oafs would drop it. but they didn't, and i have almost 10000 miles on it.

I was lucky in having no less than six good men on hand, four lifters and two spotters lol. I ran tape lines on the frame and cab and had put tape and white dots on the frames mounting holes. Very smooth....
