Re: oh yeah - rusty cowls too
excellent - thanks - good to know. I've seen just most everything I could imagine in LMC and Classic Industries, etc - but haven't exactly looked for things like cab supports, etc - I have found cowl and inner kick panel sheet metal though, so that is encouraging. Am sure there are many other suppliers too from what I can tell. I'm a little new to the 47-55 era of trucks - have been mostly cars and mid-sixties C10s so far, but really like the advanced design series, especially 54-55's. Have been looking long and hard for a decent 55 1st series (over a 54) so I could get one that cam with an open driveline vice the torque tube. I'm going to keep it mostly stock with the exception of maybe a dual quad 283 out of an old 57 vette (or some similar set-up) even considering a mid 60s Rochester FI set-up to make it unique. But other than a potential trans/eng swap, will be dead bone stock.
Thanks again Dan,
Jocko
