    Wow, that is amazing! What a steel of a deal! What a nice truck, and with that engine/tranny it should scoot right on down the road nicely.

    I concur with Mark as well, trucks back then just seem to last. I mean you see trucks that age rusted out with massive trees coming up through the engine compartment, and they look like if you hacked down the tree, the rest of the truck could be put back together. I doubt anyone recons that their new ford or toyota will do look as good in fifty plus years.

    Awesome, thanks a lot for sharing, very cool stuff.

    Yep and thanks. It is pretty amazing how much heavier the material is that they use on the trucks back then. Comparing that to say the hood of my Dodge, it's like comparing a soup can to a pop can. Haha
