Yeah, looking at that brings up nightmares. That's the problem when you know what you're really looking at, and know better.

Good for you. You may have been looking for awhile, but trust me, there are better ones out there much more deserving, and capable, of being saved.

The green one is just begging for a proper big back window conversion. Not me I guess. Oh well I'll keep looking. A buddy had a pretty decent '54 a couple of years ago but I want a '56 or none at all.

Both rusty examples above, in my eyes, are essentially patterns to recreate a COE cab out of a conventional cab.
My truck came out of Houston and has far more rust than I typically accept, but is nowhere near the level of deterioration these pics show; not to mention, if the pics show, ITS BAD.
I have a lot of re-fabrication and/or FG steps in my future too...
There is a dude on one of the FB COE groups who is restoring a '56 C truck. He radiused and moved the lower hinge on a set of repop doors.
