Sounds good!

I don't know if you've checked back in on some threads yet, but my "drive it as I build it" strategy ran its course. I took the front clip off three weekends ago (took a ten day vacation to Xcaret in there) to pull the engine/trans and install a Fatman Fabrications IFS in it and the "While-I'm-In-There" bug bit me hard. I've pulled the engine/trans and the bed off. The cab is completely unbolted and will be pulled Sunday when some helpers can come over. Hopefully I'll fit the crossmember and cut the leaf spring pads off the rearend Sunday and be ready for welding possibly as soon as next weekend.

Best of luck, keep the photos coming!
