1935 Ford 1.5 Ton Cab Rust

Hey guys, first time poster. I've got a 35 Ford 1.5 Ton I'm Looking at redoing. My grandpa gave it to my father and I would like to get it going. It's been sitting outside for around 40 years. The cab is solid other than the panel above the windshield. It appears that the windshield was leaking and the water pooled in here and rusted it out. I was wondering if anyone else has had this before and successfully repaired it? Are there any places that would sell this panel? Thanks

 

That is most likely rotted due to mice living up there. Mouse pee will rot things faster than water.

 

Your best bet for that panel is to find someone with a cab that rusted out from the bottom up.

 

It's only metal! Anything is repairable. Blast it and see where you stand.

 

Yeah that's what it's looking like. I'll have some time to run across one at least.

 

Hit the nail on the head! My '37 cab was the same way. I haven't got around to fixing it yet, someday.

 

Does the motor turn? Hook up a 6 volt and spray lil gas see if she will fire

I actually haven't even made it that far yet! Work has been busy preparing for winter. Hopefully tomorrow I'll get a chance to check it out!

 

So....where are you located?

 

Northwest Minnesota

 

Get ready for it, I've been busy cutting and splitting firewood. PRIORITIES!
