Going to try to get the body off the other truck today, hopefully start sanding down the paint.
Getting a M90 supercharger from a guy at work and possible a port injection system if he has one. thinking 8-9 psi will wake it up a lil bit ;)

there's no WGM members who live down by you that could lend ya a few hands to lift er up onto the frame????
Also if using "manual labor" to install that cab, try taking both doors off, thats gonna shave well over a hundred pounds in weight.
Most the people I know like their back lol. Don't blame them. Actually have a taller A frame on the way sometime.
tell your buddys quit being sissys and man up.. it will be easy with 3 or 4 of you. not gonna brake your back lol
