let's see if this works

 

lets try it this way:

Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums - maverickman514's Album: my 56 as found

 

Good luck. Looks like you have your work cut out. Post pics as you go.

 

Thanks, I know it will be alot of work, but $400 for all of it (there's a 390/C6 under there too) was a deal that could not be passed up.. with titles for cab AND chassis..
The pics will be added as often as I can sneak the wife's new camera out to the garage.

 

Here are your pictures

 

thanks Bjorn!!

 

you got a lot of work to do

That's why I gonna follow this topic

 

Wow, I've never seen a custom cowl vent made from a mower deck before. Yes, you do have your work cut out for you. Have fun!

 

Great deal however, it's going to be !@#* getting a windshield to fit.

 

found a place in Minnesota that can custom cut me one from my template.. I guess we will see how that works out.

side and back glass will be over-simplified, unless I get really lucky finding some parts...

LET THE ADVENTURE BEGIN!!

 

you should get the windshield glass first.. make sure it fits.. before going on..
otherwise....

that's kinda the plan.... just gotta work up the $$ but just found a full windshield in Chicago area for about $150 so.........

 

I like that louvered hood, is there any aftermarket places that sell them?

 

I think you gotta find an old timer with a louver punch and a press and have your hood done.... I doubt there would be such a part available in the aftermarket.
I have no idea where mine was done, I just know I counted 154 louvers.

 

another pic... actually a sketch of what I hope to one day achieve...
