It was done before I posted the pix. I had blocks and my wife was watching the entire time to make sure it was tilting back on the frame like i needed it to. I had to tilt it up on the back side to get it to fit on the trailer I have. A lot of people might get upset, but I had a body shop friend of the family come in and give me "our price" on the repair work required and he said it would easily be $1,000-1,200, depending on how much worse it got when sanded down. He felt on the cab corner, then punched it and the bondo just cracked and fell off! He said that if I hit a pothole just right with it, it would probably stress fracture the cab and fall apart. Plus, he said it would be hard to keep the cab square while repairing the posts from the cab corners up to the back glass. That's what finally pushed me into scrapping it. The bed was in the same shape...lots of bondo everywhere...the previous owner thought he was a body guy put would rather use bondo then steel...what a shame. I am retaining the frame, though.
