1945 Jailbar
Just wanted to say hello, I am currently working on a 1945 Jailbar, it has frame and transmission matching vin. I took out the instrument bezel and it is stamped January 30 1945 I am looking for a few parts and I'm sure this site will be a great tool in its rebuild

Nice. Does it have the cool 4 spoke steering wheel? I have only seen those on 45 models. Nice 64 in the back. Oh, and you do know the bed is newer, 48-52?

You have a good starting point to build a pickup. A good frame and, title? The cab looks really good and it has a straight pickup bed. '42-'47 fenders will bolt on to the pickup bed when you drill new bolt holes. It looks like the running boards are for a '45 pickup. Welcome to FTE.
