@solsaks thanks that a huge compliment coming from you.
My new question is do I really need to put the rubber strips back on the inner fender? they do not really seem to do anything, they barely stick out past the edge of the inner fender, so I am not sure of the purpose.

@rocklaurence...... That shade of white is Crappy PO white, I have the parts painted that are missing right now. I can post some photos next to the old paint. If you look back I have a fender that is already painted, but its hard to see in the bad light of the garage. I can post some better photos of the new color white.
Its TCP Global Linen White

Thanks for sharing your progress. Looking really good. I'm liking the white wheels and truck.
I'm beginning my 79 J10 rebuild from frame up.
I have same as your initial question. How do the "captive??" nuts go in the rear cab mounts. They were both loose in mine. One bolt came out no problem. The driver side just spun the nut and I had to cut the bolt at the bushings. Can I keep it from spinning to remove and reinstall the new bolt?

Akguy, your truck is making great progress. Huge difference from when you started. Seeing what looks like your home made paint booth brings back recent memories and makes me smile and cringe at the same time.
I've always loved the J trucks. Can't help but think one would look nice some day in the garage next to the cherokee....when it's finally done

@laredomatt To be honest I was really looking for a Cherokee. My wife and I had an 81' for 8 years but this J Truck just fell into my lap.
Thanks for the compliment, I am closely following your build as well. Watching how you do things hoping I do not have to reinvent the wheel.

@johnz10 Thanks, this isn't my first rebuild, so I have learned from previous mistakes. I also look at everyone else's build thread to see how they solve issues that I may run into, I mean we are all working on basically the same vehicle
