Joe,

A few members have an interest in the bigger trucks and they'll be around to comment, no doubt. Joblot Automotive (www.joblotauto.com) has more of the big truck parts than most places. Give them a call and you might find what you need.

I AM VERY INTERESTED IN SEEING IT, AND OR BUYING IT. If you could possibly post some photos, or something, I would be very greatful. Is it a COE or conventional? I really don't care as to the overall condition, as long as it has a restorable body. Find out if he would sell it, and where in Oregon is it?

I'm looking for front end sheet metal mostly. My fenders are hammered, and full of bondo. I need fenders and hood side trim. I don't care what size for the hood side trim as long as it's "Big Job."

I just posted pics of my 53 F-800 Big Job in my Gallery. I will be selling the chassis, engine and entire drivetrain. I am going to put the body on a newer F-350 Rollback.

I think I'm going to pull the '73 L-8000 ad I posted. I bought it to put my F-800 on it. I need front fenders that are not full of rust and bondo. I'd be interested in your '53s chassis, but it's a little too far, and I don't think I'll be able to beat the idea of a CAT powered '53 F-800. I really do need fenders though you guys. give some prices and or availability if you've got some decent ones.
