CA Parting out - 1957 3600 3/4 ton truck

[ptc]

I have a near complete truck and everything in the drivetrain, frame and chassis must go to a new home. It has been sitting for 10 years so figure condition as is. Figure all these parts will fit 55-59 3/4 ton trucks

It has a 235 6 cylinder engine that is complete and has not been touched. It has a 3 speed trans with a granny first gear, not sure of the rear differential gearing. It has twin drive shafts. 8 lug wheels, drum brakes. steering box

Steering column and box all good, wheel all original with horn cap. Some dash parts avail please inquire.

Pictures of parts on request and will get stuff online as it comes apart.

Shipping for smaller parts will be USPS flat rate $6, $12, $15 boxes. other will be by size and weight to your zip.

Thank You

hows the grill? and the front fenders? are you cutting up the cab?

[ptc]

Hi Micheal no wont be cutting anything up. All the sheetmetal I will be using for my build. I have bed parts in another thread.

Everything on the frame and drive train is up for sale at this point. It has complete brake systems, steering system, frame is un-molested, wheels are 8 lug, need some cleaning up and some paint and could be nice. The tires are old and no good and come with the rims.... I have the original spare rim AND TIRE! from 57.

The engine and trans are available, radiator and water systems, all electrical wiring systems as I wont be using them.

Open to offers on all parts. + shipping.

Ask and ye shall receive....
The steering wheel is cracked in all the right places but it is all together and not separated anyplace. The cap is blastable or just some steel wool and leave the rough look.

Is the extra cab a deluxe or small back window? If it has big back window (deluxe), I'm interested.

Delux or Deluxe was the base model, Custom was the nicer cab with chrome trim and grille, either could have a big or small window.

So, to clarify this a little more, the term "Deluxe" was used to describe the model where you got stainless windshield mouldings, grille, and stainless around the door windows and back glass, and a fabric covered seat, Driver side armrest and chrome dash knobs - non-deluxe or base models as they were sometimes referred to, were minus all these items and had black plastic knobs and a vinyl seat cover. No "Custom" terminology was used before 1960. Panoramic rear glass was a separate option available on base or Deluxe models, and chrome bumpers were separate from the Deluxe feature set, so while very few were ordered this way, you could have a Deluxe model truck with chrome grille and white painted bumpers. Rear bumpers were not standard equipment at all, so all rear bumpers regardless of paint vs chrome were dealer added unless specifically ordered with them.

BASED ON THIS:
The next biggest error is Cab identification. Most think that a De Luxe Cab was the better cab with a big window and a chromed heater panel in the dash. Again not so. De Luxe was the base model cab that could be optioned with a big window and a deluxe heater. A Custom cab was the high end cab that would have been optioned with a chrome trim package and better interior with or without a big window or heater.

The spare cab I have available is a 1955 CUSTOM CAB and has holes for all the trim!!! it is totally bare $450.00- it had the stainless steel trim all around it. It is a small back window. it has minimal rust in the typical areas. It has been blasted and thats why it has surface rust on the outside. A spray of Rust Remover and this will be clean steel again..... Needs rear corners replaced, lower door jambs. couple small floor patches.

Can do all repairs if wanted, I can do a big back window conversion too if needed @ cost+ welding time.
