However, there has been progress and I'll post the pics later this week due to having priorities higher than Jack the Truck! I did manage to tape the line I wanted to cut on the back of the cab and after 4 to 5 cut off wheels and 3 metal saw zaw blades later, off came the back of the cab.
The things I would do different: I'm not sure yet, I will let you know when I start having to fabricate the pieces of metal to fit in the extension... ha ha
I did manage to crack the windshield when I was taking it out. I didn't see where someone had put silicone, wood glue, super glue, and whatever else when I was breaking the seal on the inside and the next thing I seen was..... well you know the rest of the story. Now that sucks and will cost more money going back, but I need it because I do not like eating bugs going down the road, unless I'm really hungry!
So the back half of the cab is in the garage, I pounded the extension pieces from the bed so that it has the same contour of the cab and brought them in as well. I will not go into the story about trying to get the cab off the frame and into the back of my Toyota Tundra for over 1 1/2 hours. My best friend Matt was given the utility trailer after coming back from Germany so he could get things moved around. It’s not like I can go over to his house in New York to use it. So my Wife’s Nissan Xterra is going to get a hitch and I will find something to use to move this stuff around.
Well it is finals week, Holidays are upon us, and I promise myself to write of list of priorities and ensure the updated pics show up before Christmas.
