well i did some trading with a friend yesterday and this is what i ended up with; c cab that was a driving truck in the 70s 3 tall t truck cabs ( one on a frame with a superbell axle, new brakes and a 9" under it) 31 murrary body sedan ( all the guarnish moldings , usual rust with a perfect hood and nice grill shell )- about to put in the cl***ifieds and about 2 truck loads of parts ( some new stuff and some old stuff)
when they built it for some reason they filled the sides and the back out to the body lines with bondo. The guy i got it from started grinding it back out around the back window and metal wise it looks good so far.I dont know about the cowl bottoms yet , but the doors have zero rust in them. Hell it still has the original wood in the top. So i am thinking about putting the t cab on that frame and getting it on the road first since the only thing it needs body wise is patch panels on the door bottoms. But the c cab is the reason i did the deal in the first place so it will be built hopefully next winter. david
