So what is the plan on the cab? Looks pretty good from here!

I have a small spot on the floor to replace and have sourced a section from another truck. There is a dent just behind the passenger door I have to fix and I would like to seal up the gas filler hole in the Drivers side.

Once I get the floor sealed up I want to clean the bottom and paint it with POR15 that I have. The cab came from CA and someone left a rag on the floor which got wet and caused the root. The cab mounts are actually good.

Not too much at all Paul, at least compared to Manny's project! I used por 15 on a couple vehicles and I think its awesome stuff for rusted areas as long as they are cleaned. Good luck! keep us posted!

Oh I will post pics as I move along.

So that is what I have to work with. This cab has journeyed far and wide. Was a Cali Truck, then I saw it in the town I lived in Massachusetts south of Boston. I finally ended up traveling to North of Boston to actually buy this thing. I removed the Cab and Bed and scrapped the frame. Then trucked it to Maryland where I bought another two wheel drive for parts that has a better bed.



I am extremely lucky to have stumbled onto a cab in very good shape.

Wow that looks great, nice start. Sure looks solid and straight especially for after 50 years!!

The funny thing is this truck sat for a couple of years 10 miles from my house in Mass. Tried on several occasions to buy it, finally bought it when it was almost 60 miles from my house in Mass.

funny how that works! To bad you couldn't have purchased it when it was closer. Oh well, at least you ended up with it and it looks good and solid!
