Cab goes to Paint

Got a call from my painter Sunday night and he said to bring the cab down .
Called my friends Bob Ertzinger and Dean Long to help me pull the cab back off the chassis and load it on my little trailer. They showed up this morning in 32 degree weather and loaded the cab and cab doors. Picked up Tony Cetta on the way for more beef to unload everthing. Tony has been very instrumental in getting this paint job done. The painter, Jeff Crow, lives and works out of his home just south of Warsaw Illinois. We got the cab and doors unloaded and in Jeff's work area about noon today.  Lots of talk about the job and colors and some other car stuff BS.  Jeff will smooth out everything and block sand til he drops. He may have to wait until spring to actually shoot the cab. It's got to be a warm day when that happens.
When the Cab is done, we will bring the chassis down along with the bed attached for the next phase. Fenders and hood will follow.
I finished doing the welding on the truck bed yesterday and now need to put it back together on the chassis.
I may bring the bench seat in next and start pulling it apart. Need to figure out the upholstery soon.
Would like to rebuild the seat for a more cushy ride.
I'm a happy boy today. "Daddy's Little Fatty" may run this next year. Whoot, Whoot!
