That is very impressive. I can see a trophey winner coming there. Proud to have members like that in our chapter. I wish I had the patience to do that. Looks like he is going all stock too. That takes some self disapline in it's self. A stock restoration makes the truck more valuable.
We have some real nice trucks in our chapter but not too many stockers.
My dream is to do a 61-63 stock 4x4 in holly green. Who knows, It could happen some day, after I retire

Congrats to him and post more pics for us to oogle over. Is he going with red and white?

thats a pretty driveline and frame. the body doesnt match well i think it might need paint or something

Jason, thanks so much for posting the pictures. The floor of my 62 is so bad and I became fustrated, cutting and patching w/o much progress. I saw this cab on e bay for weeks and one day I got an idea. The guy in California, (Jess Soriano) was very helpfull and e mailed me lots of pictures of the bottom, corners, steps,ect. I decided it was worth a try. These pictures are of him loading it last friday on Fedex Freight, so it is on its way. I have an excellent fabricator willing to help me, so I am hoping this spring we will be going to the painters for some turquoise & white. Jess has more rust free parts and a Mercury truck for sale., I'll keep you MAC guys posted...Dave

I bought the cab for $99.00, because it was loaded w/a forklift, and was a commercial business, and estimated weight about 300 lbs, the freight charge should be the $352.00 that was quoted. I had quotes all over the place, as high as $900.00. The seller was VERY helpfull, he bolted the cab to the pallett and talked directly to Fedex to coordinate the loading. can't wait till it shows up here in Waldorf...Dave
