thanks for that info. knuck i ordered that cataloug.... in the 90's i was doing the same thing to a 79' mustang and had a box full of catalougs [ before the internet was around] .. but i can tell im gonna have a lot of literature on these trucks very soon,
i went to look at the one in my town today. to get the year off the vin # it's a 63' and got some more pic's.
..
neither one of the trucks im looking at is in bad shape. i wonder which one i will decide to put toghter... im going this sunday to look at the one with the busted windshield, [ it was raining last sunday so i didnt get to do what i wanted ] mainlly to look at the vin and get it's year confirmed,, i think it's a 60' with a different hood, my wife is allready questioning me, im looking for a hood, and dont have neither truck in my yard,
i think the one with the good windshield is a '' custom cab '' from the steering column, the bed on the outside looks good, but the floor of the bed is rotted. i could easily slip in a bed liner. but that aint the way i want to do this ride, i'll either go with a thin plate of steel. or possiblly a sheet of diamond plate,
the inside of the cab of the city truck is really nice.. which one i will bring back to life will depend on how they look once i get them both here,
ive allready designated a place they will rest in my yard,, away from any falling limbs. e.t.c......... my wife hasnt seen me go bannanas over a project of this magnitude since my datsun... i know she will be o.k. at first.. but i can allready hear the bitchin. from the time im spending outside..... to the mess im creating in her washing machine,,,,lol
and i found the gas pedal.. it was disconnected and laying in the floorboard. ive given away a bunch of parts that i would like to have now... like a set of chrome traction bars... billet pedal inserts,
