     Looks like a decent project.  Don't see any rust, so should go easy.  More pics as you progress, always like to see progress in pics....

Looks great !!
How long did it take you to tear it down that far?
How did you remove the cab? The ole' 4 man lift?

I have been working on it for a couple of months now. Since it is bow hunting season i have been jugling both. Yes we did the four man lift, i was surprised on how light the cab really was. I plan on doing the same for the box, i just need to pick up some more casters.

Thanks
