I have all of that in the bed of my truck. It was raining and didn't see the reason to lay it out in the rain.

I went to Evansville to do some horse trading to get this 1970 ranger XLT for a parts truck. Factory air is all there and still has a charge! It also has ps, pb and tons of trim I will be selling off soon.

What is the windshield like? I need a good one and that one should be tinted. I would make a trip over from Indy to get it if the price was right. Inner fenders and core support? Tailgate? There is a guy in Indy looking for a hood if that one is good.

I won't have time to mess with the "Heinz 68 crew cab" till next week when I'm on vacation again. When I get time next week I will dive in on installing my parallel 4 link and 9"(decided against the 8.8 ) and mount up the CV front suspension. Also my M5R2 should be back from the transmission shop from getting checked out and see if anything in it was wore out. If I get all the suspension installed I will get started on motor mounts and getting the 393w/M5R2 mocked up.

Finaly got around to snapping a pic of the m5r2 I will be using. Hope it will hold up to my 393.

Built a dolly from some scap laying around the farm. Shold be high enough for me to fix the floors and do the mounts. Haven't had much time due to other projects and scraping out stuff before the weather changes.

Wow, that looks like a very sturdy dolly. Can't wait to see you tear into that cab! I'm glad you showed a pic of the crew, with all the parts trucks moving in and out of your place, I was starting to get confused on which one you're working on. :D

Man that green truck is gorgeous! :eek:

Thanks Ben for selling me the cab!

My 68 F600 cab is ready for the patch panels to be welded in and sent to the dipper. I guess I'm going to send both cabs, all 8 doors, 2 short beds a set of inner and outer fenders and 2 core supports!
