Well, we started late yesterday and got the doors off and the hood and one fender. Everything else was done today with just me and my kids.

Nice

im in how hard or easy is the cab going to line up?
I used an '85 cab on a '75 frame and it lined up great. The front four cab mounts lined up perfect, but I did have to make a mount for the rear bushings. I used a piece of angle and laid it across the frame and cut holes in in for the bushings. I'll take more pictures today.
Very cool build, nice job. subscribed.
Nice work i did not know the body mounts lined up so easy. was it a 2x cc or 4x
2 wheel drive cab. The floorpan was the biggest pita. I was gonna just transfer the bolt in pan to it, but it didn't line up in the back at all. There was a 2" gap from the floor to the pan so I had to cut the center out of the 'burb floor and patch it in the cc floor. I swapped out the wiring harness today and fitted the front cap and hauled off the 'burb body tothe scrap yard.

Yeah, it's an A frame with a lift kit. Harbor freight sells an adjustable one for just over $600.

measuring right at the cab back how much frame is there? Mine has exactly 4 feet. Looks like you have a bit more than me and the rear axle is further back. Lookin good I like it.

Mine is exactly 6 feet for now. I'm gonna move the tank to right behind the cab and cut the frame just behind the shackles.
What, this trailer?
I just traded a bumper pull for it and then I built the drive over fenders.
