Good score! Make sure you understand those wheels. A number of those early spokes require the matching brake drum to support it properly, or a modified hub that matches the drum's profile.

Wonder if our local Walmart is going to start handling those too? I could do a Chevy cab, long as my son doesn't find out Hey, its just the cab, right? Gene

Im mixing the breed because well Im not going to spend $500-$1500 for a cab and I bought the front axle before I had a body/cab and I have plenty of small block mopars to spare one. In the future Id like to build a chevy with a chevy straight 6 and a ford with a Full House Flathead and a Dodge with an Early Hemi . All trucks of coarse. My dad builds his own Hotrods Mostly Shoebox Ford witch is where my heart is(sorry) But my wife got me into Mopars. Im going to run a 40 Ford front end and an 80s ford truck rearend(9") I might use different wheels for the rear.

Cabs are expensive but what about a whole truck already blasted and primered. If I wasnt three projects deep and four projects behind I might have picked this one up.

To high for no title in my book. I dont need the fenders so they arent worth anything to be and rough fenders are hard to get a decent price for.

Man, I want that!! I would be all over it but it's on the right coast and I am on the left one! I want to build a crewcab 40's Stude ramp truck to haul my `47 Stude on. I have another truck but need another cab. Oh well, I'll just keep looking at mine.
