Thanks guys!
Got a LOT done tonight after work even though it was really hot today!
Painted some more parts black then cleaned, masked, and undercoated the cab.  Glad it's over with that undercoat is some messy stuff, now let's hope it dries in this humidity..

Dropped the cab on the other night.. but had to pull it back off right away... While i was rolling the frame it didn't feel right, something was binding, that's when i discovered the CV joint on the front driveshaft was bottoming out.  So now i have to install a clocking plate from offroad design to lessen the angle of the driveshaft. Plate should be here in a few days then hopefully the cab and box can go on for the FINAL time.  Here's some pics before i pulled the cab back off.

 Soo i've been back at it. Frustrates me every time I start workin on it i have to do more modifications just for the part to fit. 1 step forward takes 2 steps backwards..
Got another load of painted parts in

My favorite part of the whole truck, the painted tow mirrors
