Got a few more pics up, of the stripped cab.
Found out today, while removing the old pin striping, that the pass side of the bed had been repainted at some point. Had suspected it had been. Paint wasn't oxidized as the other side is. All they did was mask over the factory pin striping and repaint. Made it a PITA to remove the stuff. Had paint over part of it, its self. Couldn't get all of the pin striping either. Some of it was stuck under the paint, along the edges. Sand it down more, I guess.
Got the aux fuel tank unbolted, with a bit of help on the 2 bottom bolts from my boss when he came into the shop. Found the pipe going from the aux to the main tank had a few pin holes under the rust. Glad I caught that! Would've been an expensive problem!
Box is ready to be pulled, and the cab just needs the nuts removed from the mounts, then they can be swapped over when I'm ready. Cab won't be pulled til the bodywork is done. Have it mobile on the old D350 frame, so I can roll it around, if need be, to make it easier to work on and move without damage.
Once the cab floor has been prepped and hit with primer, I'll start pulling what I can out of the 93 cab, and move it over. Mainly just the headliner and trim for now. Can't put carpet in til the bodywork is done.
Cab corners are a little worse than what I thought they were. Found a few more trouble spots under the carpet, below the jump seats. No real surprise though.
