Sadly I don't believe he is. He is on FB and IG only I believe. He has some vids on youtube as well.

Unfortunately I live in the rust belt and it is way more common to find these rotted out than not. These trucks were work trucks and they got used for it. Some got fixed right over the years and others got hack fixes which causes a lot of other rust. I recently picked up a very nice cab for my 72 Cheyenne Super build because the original cab is trash and a corn crib fell on it. This new to me cab sat with no glass in it for a while and I've found rust in weird places that I'm fixing. It's still better than trying to fix the other cabs I had. I literally just cut up 3 old cabs that all had completely rotten floors and firewalls. I have 3 left and none are worth saving IMO. It's a bad deal.
