Far as paint, I want as close to that same blue color that I can find.
Cool pictures Rich, I saved those so I have them.

Sorry Unk Bob the grill is long gone and traded or sold, but I am sure it is in a Ford truck somewhere. Thanks for the pics of my ol blue beater too.

Sorry I missed the cab swap..., I was there in spirit.

That's alright, it's all good. I'm actually leaning more towards the correct grill and headlight bezels. And painting them black like they were years ago.

Tim and I about froze our azz's off in there with the a/c box and heater core out that "Winter". That Junction sign made a pretty good patch though

I didn't need these, but like you said they're all broken, and this set doesn't have a busted tab anyplace. Once I'd seen that, I had to have them.

Did you all "fix" the cold issue by acquiring a sign on that trip? If so, that is bad ****!!!!

No Jeff, that JCT sign really didn't make it any warmer in that cab. The original cab had factory A/C and it didn't work, and I wasn't going to fix it and wanted it all gone. Didn't have time to get a heater core in there before we had our get together. It was a cold ride to and from
