I work mostly on weekends, let me check my schedule and project list and let you know when I will be doing something interesting. Will you be driving down? How much notice will you need?

48,
Check out this site to see how this guy made his own patch and replacement panels for his milk truck including the windshield frame. It is VERY interesting and informative!

Just checked out that website, Ax, outstanding! The info there would be very helpful to someone who can't find what they want from a vendor, or just wants to do it themselves. Btw, the site is about restoring Divco milk trucks (and your friends think you're weird), and some of the history photos are great.

The site was great. I wish they would finish the "how to build your own paint booth. That is going to be my summer project. My shop is too dust to paint in.

rust repair panels

I found that the cheapest place to get them from if they have your model is Mrtaillight.com and they even have free shipping hope that helps

Yep, if you need cab corners, mine are the only ones that are correct AND fit.
Mine have the correct "S" shaping to the frame rail, and the lower lip to the floor. Others do not include the lip.
Coming soon is the F-1 Front fender to running bd patch.

Here's an example of how different the MF ones are from the original shape.

I have never herd anything but good things about reamer, and how well his panels fit correctly . He is a member here on FTE and not hard to find. (Hint this thread post #36)
