This is what the truck started looking like
This is what it looks like now!
This is what I scored. Some one beat me to the hood.

Cab (no Rust) was $300.00 with glass and dash in tack. Pretty clean grill with V8 for $100.00.
I've got more than enough to get my 56 back looking good!

Glad you scored the parts!
You might as well buy the front fenders for extras.
Hope you never need them, but you never know.

As the ole saying goes. I get up in the morning with nothing to do and go to bed in the evening only half through.
Retirement allows me to be able to ENJOY this crazy hobby/passion/obsession I had to put on hold for 30 plus years
And I gotta lot of catching up to do

Thanks again for the lead! Even if it was 3 hours and 45 minutes away. It was a nice drive and a great day to go parts hunting.

I was telling my mother in law as we were up working on her farm up in North Missouri (Where I got my truck) My youngest is 8 so 15 years for school and 5 years to recover. I should be ready to focus on the truck in 20 years.
Of course my son was saying at the ball games yesterday that he will be driving the truck when he is 16. He is 14 now...I told him the way I'm going, his kids will be able to drive it.

The funny thing is most of the vendors that I had catalogs for back in the day, no longer exist. And we now have Internet. I remember having to write a company and then wait for their answer!!!

They are for the Big trucks with larger openings in the wheel wells for the larger wheels. I think he wanted $175.00 for both. One is in great shape the other has some minor damage.
