They do actually! I was just being my usual smart *$$ self . They also line up on a specific street and can easily be picked up, if it was in san fran, then I would wonder! Lol. Flattie, if you need any dim or measurments pictures etc of mounting stuff let me know.
Cheers

 

Thank you Josh.
I am thinking to drop the cab on a 88 1500 gmc long beg.the 88 has everything I need and its free,thoughts suggestions???

 

under the cab there is a small subframe, this subframe is untoched but the mounts for the sbuframe to the chassis are cut in half.these mounts are pyramid looking ones I will post pics later

 

YA can't beat that price! I say go for it and make it work!

I like the tailights on your F1 btw


Cheers

Josh

 

Thanks Josh.
I am afraid to do all that work and the steering not being right.

 

Hey flattie - congrats on finding your dream truck! Look forward to seeing the progress pics. Still stuck in neutral, myself...

 

Awesome pics Ilya... must have been fun!

 

thanks badger hound.so sad your truck is on the waiting list.I need more time and money to work on my stuff a little more progress.
The first pictures are 2 potential donors.
the 3rd is how I moved the cab around by myself,I make the old f1 work hard! I dont know if I would do it if I painted the poor truck.

 

I had to be careful not to sand the lettering that was covered by the thick red primer.
Does anyone know if they painted the inside the cab with red oxide primer from factory or dealer???or was it the cheapest primer/paint back then???
my f1 and the coe are white under all the red primer and I believe they were made in the same factory in Long beach???

 

My 49 has its original paint, and its the same colour inside and out including the floorpans. John

 

do you have places where its peeling off.I have the same off white under everything and when I try painting over the white the paint doesnt stick or it bubbles.Its just weird that both trucks have it.
Yours looks like the color on my coe and the interior on my f1 lexcoe

 

Nothing under mine except bare still on the inside and of course the factory primer n stuff outside. Maybe yours was white to begin with and was painted Vermillion later in its life.
Mine came to life in Long Beach to. John

 

weird tho.its like there was only one supplier of this paint in this state back in the 50's

 

Maybe somebody knows more about this, or maybe we will never know,,,,,good thing i am going to the DARKSIDE LOL John

 

Hey how is the RHD going I wanted to do mine RHD but i cant
