Make sure you save the additional part of the hump that transitions down to the floor pan under the seat Nick... as you'll need that part also to add the tall bolt in hump...

Good deal... this stuff is getting pretty hard to find in good condition here in the rust belt area... hope you pulled it out of an 81-85 cab as the 73-80's aren't quite the same..

[G.M.Landscaping]

Any reason why you didn't sandblast the frame and axles at that point. Curious? Post some more pics of the buildup.
I seen your finished thread and it turned out very nice

Edit: just searched for your other threads and found more pics
