Looks to be very solid and straight. Please do keep the progress pictures coming. :)

yes the cab and doors are in real good shape but the rest is gone. i gave 500.00 for the cab doors hood and grill
Not out of line at all. I paid $ 900 for my '39 Dodge cab, and we had to drive to Atlanta to get it.
Don
wow thats a drive this was 1.7 miles from me
good luck on your prodject , hopefully you have some life in that chebbie soon
this was not as easy as i thought. but the cab is off so its time for the fun stuff

This is cool looking! I wish I could have found an earlier model cab for mine but a 54 was the best I could come up with. What kind of drivetrain are you thinking?
more work is done. i got the rear end in and fabed the motor mounts. put a peddle assembly from a fiero and im using a set of seats from the fiero thay fit good and look good.
heres the pics.

How about a 3" chop & extending the cab 3". The 3 " extention to the cab makes a big diffenance in the lrg room.

the frame is welded. i think i over built it but it's strong. next i will put it on the ground so i can set the front ride hight and build the front axel. for this im using parts from a d30 jeep front axel so i will have disk brakes and good bearings to roll on. i will post pics when i get to that point
here is were im at now
