i'll get somepics up here as soon as i get both home , but the donor truck i'd described before it's a 55 f 100 with the rear axle flipped and what appears to be de arched springs , monte carlo front clip. what i wanted though is / was the cab. it has all 4 cab corners replaced , front and rear, new floor pan , and no rust anywhere . it came with two doors that other than surface rust are rust free and two with some small rust holes in the bottom edge . all window glass a darn near new set of factory gauges ,a cut down 8 inch ford diff , and a myriad of other small parts all for 550 and some time . so yep its solid .

i gave my old cab, a 351 windsor and auto, some extra body parts and the frame with the monte carlo front clip and various and sundry other parts to my son in law Adam. he's a good kid and is always there to help me with my project{s} so i figured what the hey . being married to my daughter and two kids he doesn't have a lot of extra cash so i figure will get him involved with these old FORDS this way!
