    Nice to see your post. Hope you share your progress on the new truck. I enjoyed the work on the 38 Chev pick up and the 32 Ford.

    Very nice work! As an owner of a 49 myself, how was the quality of that back cab panel you installed?
    Also looks like a repop door with an original upper door frame spliced in, what was the purpose of that?
