Ok i think i may have the old truck sickness haha.

its what i believe is a 49..... 97hc 212784 KC
No title for this one

i got it for the doors trim some of the glass and the fenders and front sheet metal. All better than my own.












it has a inline 6... it looks to be converted to 12v, someone stole the thermostat housing already, and its not stuck....i may try to start this one





the spare hood is banged up a bit but i dont need it.







cab is also banged up pretty good, the roof is rusted out above windshield and the floors are about toast.

At first when you said you bought it for the front sheet metal I thought, "Dang, that looks like too nice of a truck to part out", but once I saw the cab pictures I think you're doing the right thing. I really like that front seat, worth the price right there.

Nice score there. BTW, there is a real good look at the original steel floor in the box. We have had several discusions on here about this.

Kind of odd for the front sheet metal to not have the usual rust but have serious rust in the cab. I don't see the roof section filled with a mouse nest etc to cause that kind of rust.

yes i found it very weird that the front fenders are almost rust free. The drivers is just starting to rust a bit and the running boards all almost perfect but the cab is toast....as are the bed cross members.
