Getting too old for this. Took 5 months to get it to this point. Going to crank it this week. Thanks to the forums for all the advise. I got this old cab and bed and frame in 1966 and its been in a barn since then. Pretty rotten to say the least. I did all the fab work, welding and machining. I only have $4K in it right now with rebuilt engine and trans. 289 2b C4 8" rear, front disc, rear drum, 1928 closed cab ford body, frame and shortened original bed. Fabricated all the white oak woodwork myself including door jams custom dash and top assembly. Looks pretty good, hope it drives well. Spring over front and rear end with load carriers for a little extra resistance in the rear.
I appreciate all the help form the different forums.
