I bought one in about that shape for 25.00 with a title 40 something years ago. It ended up being the cab patch panel and title donor for my buddy's 48 as it had a 48 3/4 ton title.

The gal who had it said her dad had had it and took it all apart before he passed away. The frame broke in two when we tried to load it and that and a lot of other stuff went straight to the scrap yard and pretty well got my 25.00 back and ended up with the pieces I wanted, my bud ended up with what he wanted and the nice lady had a pile of junk cleaned out of her yard.

Still that 5 window cab is interesting if the other side looks as good as this side.
