Hit an interesting detour. This cab is from a different year model 3/4 ton. Has more rust than the one from the '62 1/2 ton which I plan to use. Was just going to use this one for a pattern for cab mounts, etc. to reduce the chance of dings, and bangs on the "good" cab during fit. Rechecked both, and found cab mount location and some other stuff was different than the good cab.
Soo, it's off with this one, and use the good one for fit. '62 cab has very little rust, but some dinged doors typical with this year model trucks, but alot easier to repair than structural rust damage.
The front clip will end up being a hollow shell/w a fake 26"+- extention panel to accomodate the motor and big radiator.
Hoping to get Turbojunker's look, post #150,/w no hood, maybe some tool boxes under the bed, lower rear end some, and running boards for old people.
There are bits and pieces of all you folks ideas incorporated in this, so
Thanks,
Cayoterun

Add: If someone wanted to chop a pic with the added wants mentioned, I'd appreciated it. Need one to print & post in shop for inspiration.
