29 closed cab project that i have been working on for a while now. I was going to make a tribute to the first model a that my dad restored back in 1962, but i have other costumer cars taking up too much time.
I bought it from an estate where the husband had passed. It was just the body, bed and hood. The body was completely taken apart, with a bunch of missing hardware and rust. I replaced the pass side cowl post patched the cowl, made a new panel for under the seat. purchased/ installed a new seat riser and installed a new wood kit for the top. it has a nice tank windshield and dash rail. The back of the cab is rust free from another truck. the doors need the typical patches, but they are defiantly fixable.
the bed and tailgate are in good shape with just a little rust in the bottom on the radius and some dents.
the fenders are real nice. no tears on the fronts and the backs are pretty good also. the drivers side rear has had some patching where it meets the running board. splash aprons are crap, but they are the only ones i had. the hood is nice and so is the grill and radiator.
frame is nice and almost pit free. (numbers are visible) as far as the rest of the drive train your guess is as good as mine. it will all need to be gone through. engine is stuck, trans shifts but i haven't taken the shift tower off to look at it.
not shown in the pictures but included are
front bumper and brackets
front splash apron
hood shelves
steering column
headlight bar and lights
front fender brackets
new metal bed strips
horn
missing
window regulators
one inner windshield post cover
seats
dash,speedo, other misc hardware
now this thing still needs a lot of restoration. i just put it together so that everyone can see what they are getting. i tracked down almost everything so now it just needs to be restored.
bill of sale only
