It was a cab off a 2 ton truck. Harley and I are going to build a half-size tow truck body for it and call it "Lil' Hooker" ............

I just hope I have enough time left on this earth to finish it! So many projects, so little time................lol

The 35 is a project that Harley and I really want to finish. We are going to build an aluminum "wrecker" body for it and it should be a really neat rig when we're done with it!

The Courier frame is fully boxed from the factory, and not simple channel and strong as hell.

I'll take a couple more pics of it today and show ya just how good it fits the frame. I was going to custom build a frame for it until I saw the empty courier frame setting next to the 35 on the ground. Got the tape out and started measuring. Turns out it fits perfectly! It will just be for "showing off" and won't ever tow a rig.

I'm amazed that nobody has figured out that the courier frame is perfect for mounting an early cab on............Except me!

Well that worked out quite handily, then! Yeah, I'd like to see that frame.
