Thanks for the complements guys. Its becoming a sickness to paint every nut , bolt and washer etc. I blasted the starter and painted it also. I'll be afraid to drive it for fear of getting a chip in the paint.

Thanks Sharpmark !
Today I put the cab back on the frame to do more things that need doing, steering, gas pedal and other things that I need to rethink. Here's a few pic's.

New rear required a new set of tail pipes. So here they are. Old rear pictured.

air ride set up
Air Ride arrives tomorrow and the rear is in place with All-Thread rods to do any fine tuning before the suspension is welded in.
The Air Ride I bought through a dealer vice Air Ride. Why ? Because Bill at BMAC's Restoration gives a discount for Military. For me it it was $500. off. BMAC Restoration
Not only the discount, but he was very helpful with questions and was willing to stay on the phone through all my maybe not to smart of questions. That speaks volumes to me.
