found some doors but came with another truck
Well I found some useable doors for my 56 a mile or so from home but they came with another truck attached to them. Pretty easy to get the whole works home as I merely filled a couple of tires with air and pulled the whole works home with my tractor.
The truck is a 57 3 ton with a dump box. The cab and doors are in good structural shape (i.e. hinges, etc...) but the skins need a little work as some cows have pushed against them and there is some rusted through areas on the bottom of them but it is restricted to the bottom inch or so. The drivers door is really the only one I need but the owner would not part with just one door thus the cab and front end purchase. I get the cab, hood and inner & outer fenders with the dump box and frame going to someone else when I get my parts off. The cab corners are rusted through but the only other rust, except for some surface rust on the floor, is on a small piece of the drivers side kick panel. The small window cab is otherwise real nice, even the hinge pockets appear solid and I may be looking for a new home for it! Anyway I am back in business but am now restricted as I have some guys working in my barn and attached shop trying to get it ready for winter. I have been trying to get them in all summer so I am ready when my fieldwork ends, which it just did - so much for well laid plans. Does anybody know if there are complete door skins available for these Task Force trucks or just the bottom 6 inches to a foot that I have seen? If they are available how are they fitting? 56hotrodred |
