That is too cool. I knew when I bought the heater controls from you I need to come hang out with you more.

I have a question though. When you buy just a cab like that.....do you get a title with it or how do you build the new truck with that cab?

I received the title with the one I bought but I always try and get the title. If you don't there is other things, nudge nudge wink wink that you can do.

Do tell.

Ok, the good news is the 62 grill is for sale for 100.00, the bad news is you have to take the rest of the truck with it.
We never saw any real good passenger side bedsides but there was a couple that could have been decent. I however screwed my back up again so could not lift the beds to look at them. If anyone is interested PM me and I will get you his phone number. Everything is headed for the crusher at some point so he is happy to just have an offer.

Picked a few cool items here with LT1burb. He scored a killer 66 a/c custom cab, bed and front end with a poersterring power brake sway bar chassis and a ton of random misc pieces like stacks of stainless w/shield trim and tach clusters. I ended up with an elusive rad to neck hard pipe , fan shroud , script valve covers, an ooga horn and a sore back. Made out with a free lunch and a handfull of ibuprofen to boot!
Some 60-63 and some 64-66 trim

I maybe able to do that.

I don't want anything. I just want to say thank you for sharing the story and the very cool photos. Kind of breaks my heart seeing all the early iron torn about and left to die.

My former in-laws used to do that, tear good running cars apart and dump them in the back acreage, or bury some of it when they got tired of the mess. I discovered how much there really was when they had to dig it all up years later to sell the property. What a waste, but a treasure for the hunter that finds it now!

[LT1 Burb]

How crazy is this, I got the title for this truck today and the registration and plates expired in 1981. That means this guy blew this truck apart when it was 15 years old.

[NEWFISHER]

I swear when the rear end broke in the field that day, it sat for years out in the pasture until he started taking it apart and storing the stuff. Leaving the frame (when you going back for that? ) out in the open to rust and decompse because he didn't have room in the make shift barn that he used to live in. Great guy, obviously a successful sheep farmer, but a little out of touch on organization!
