Have to decide to either put the gas tank fill in the bed of the truck or run it out the drivers side in the fender. Either way will take some fitment so will ponder that for a while and went back to the cab. Ordered some cab mount brackets from LMC Truck Parts and will get them on Monday. Took the front cab glass out without breaking it but the back one is now in more than one piece. The rubber moldings were very old and brittle. Should have used a little more patience with the back one, but my friend Roger says "Patience is a waste of time." It also costs you money if your not.
Pulled all the rest of the dash parts out except the windshield wiper motor and the parking brake handle. It gets interesting figuring out how the Ford engineers put things together. Discovered a secret toggle switch under the dash by the start button that you have to turn on before you can start the engine. I think most people just left it in the on position as I started the original engine without knowing it was there.
Want to tie the cab down so I can start working on the floor pans. Also have to fill in the hole in the floor where the gas line from the tank went and the hole for the gas fill on the passenger side. Need to buy a sheet of 18 gauge metal fot the patch work.
Had some more helpers show up on a return from Mexico. I think their sober now.
