Nice work! The cab section though is going to be a JOB to get looking right. Have you looked into getting junk yard or new after market panels to weld to it?
Is that Rustoleum and is it the spray can stuff or the roll on stuff?

Do keep the pictures coming.

 

I can fix the panaling....i dont need it perfect...just able to get a sticker


And it was rustoleum spray can bedliner

 

Today i was able to snag a 3 1/2 foot pry bar from a buddy...got hom and it was getting dark and i shoved it in real quick to see how it would do and its pulling the whole cab back into place...so i got some prying to do tomorrow...pics to come

 

Started pulling the dent....its comming out great...takin a little break because im hooking a ratchet strap to a tree then to my bed to pull the bottom corner out....truck haznt been started in 3 weeks....she fired up first crank, oil went to about 50psi and not the slightest stumble comming from the motor....not bad for 228k....i love my truck and cant wait to drive her again....pics comming

 

First attempt with my small prybar to bend back cab

 

Second attempt with big prybar

 

After all the prying and hooking the bed to a tree with a ratchet strap to pull it back out and prying out dent in pillar...came out good....going to cut the bottom of the cab corner out and get a new cab carner...other than that shes pretty straight...pics dont do justice

 

The paint on my roof has always sucked...and ive spray painted it a few times....so now im sanding it right down so it wont peel again...heres the progress





Getting my door wednesday hopefully so I can finish the rest of the body work

 

Uh oh....started the truck up today just fo get some fluids moving....well I let it warm up like a minute then I threw it in reverse...reverse seemed weak but I was very lightly hitting the gas...went forward and felt like there was minimal power...put it in reverse again and she died...no sputter...if I had a quiet exhaust I wouldnt have even noticex it stalled...just went dead


She fired back up and had no issue...ran like normal....tried to get it to stall again and it wouldnt....now the truck has moved 5 ft in the past month...so do you guys think the tranny just hadnt built pressure? Ive never had this happen...

 

Probably just from sitting so long. Have you done the check valve delete? If so, it will take a bit for fluid to get circulating again when you take it out of park. (no circulation in park....)
