That cracks me up!!! I saw the first picture and my first thought was why don't you get it. It looks like you are your own enabler. Keep up the good work BJ.

You're a fine fellow to rescue that cab from its plight. Albert Mennerich of Chester has been spinning in his grave. Stu

Kevin did you contact him? He said he sent some pictures to somebody but it wasn't me. I really don't have any use for it. It's in So So Shape. Will need some front cab corners and the cab back & roof are a little banged up. The title was some home built title that had no numbers that even resembled a Ford VIN he kept it. It was Probably for the mud buggy. I'd bring it to S.N. if you want it. I'd like the windshield and would consider a trade of some sort for the 56 Frame. Let me know what your thinking.

It had the front on both sides cut off, the entire front lip cut off and the bottom was pretty butchered. I had planed on taking it for parts but couldn't figure out a way to get it back 100 plus miles safely. Wouldn't fit inside the topper and if you look at the trailer it was wall to wall CAB. The Guy said I could come back and get it, NOT. Oh yeah, I forgot it had a Jeep Grill welded to it.

Oh, I know it was butchered! It looked real bad in the pic, so I was just joking.

No problem. I'll be waiting for your PM If you can would you please give me the overall length of the frame. I'm not bringing a car hauler and want to be sure the trailer I do bring is long enough to haul it back.
