Excellent! Will you be driving it to Truckstock 2014?

Sorry, I couldn't help it.

So far, the motor turns over, cab and doors solid, Steering tight , so truckstock is 11 months from now. Sounds like a goal .

I think I heard that Dairyland Bob and Doc are going to switch dates!
You may only have 6 mouths not 11?

I don't know, 11 months to put in MII IFS, a four bar with air bags and 9" in the rear, drop in a SBC with 4L60, add A/C, and body/paint??? It'll take a month at least to line up some Dubs and rubber-band tires?!

It looks to me like the corner above and in front of the wing window on the doors
is rounded. It's supported to be square cut like the next corner under it. Look at Chris's
Video. Or better yet look up Abby on here. Am I seeing this right guy's?

All in all pretty solid. Needs hood, cab corners, and lower patches on front fenders. cab floor is real nice. Motor will turn, Now I NEED TO COME UP WITH A PLAN. Restore to original, make a nice driver, Rob a bank and build a show truck, Rat rod, or sell. Will the Toyota steering box work with the F250 ? What about a rear end . Is there disk kits For the F250 ? How do I find out what Y block I have ? plate said 143 hp . Maybe I should just do the drive line and clear coat it.Some are spending big $ on fake patina.

I think you may be seeing the arms of the junior west coast mirror arms instead of the outline of the door.

Personal opinion; you already have a show-ready truck (the panel). Buy a BIG sandblaster, take this down to good steel, and paint it. Do the stock mechanicals. You'll have a solid work truck for peanuts.
