you might consider saving the cab you have. If 400. scares you, check out what people expect to get for a good cab..........

Driver door had some issues so I found a nice ‘46/‘47 to swap out. Only damage was the lower hinge (like most) went past it’s limit and bent the inside structure and tore out the rivets. This is by no means a concourse truck so I fixed it how I knew I could. It will be finished tomorrow and I will rosette weld the studs and try to make them look like rivet heads.

Thanks guys. I appreciate that. Tackled the spare tire delete today and also fixed a bunch of old crack/farmer fixes. Now they are sitting out in my patina solution aging to match the truck.

Who knows what instrument cluster was in the truck but it is now back to stock thanks to a friend who donated a section of dash from a donor truck.
