rust and a sunroof would make me swap cabs...

If you buy a new windshield gasket get one by Premier, not truck shop. SourKraut and I messed with on of those for about 5 hours one night!

that cab looks pretty bad, and that's from a guy that put a full floor in his truck!

I would swap cabs. I just cut one up today for scrap that was in far better condition.

BTW, that 6 lug D60 is not original to your truck. Still a nice piece though.

The 6-lug D60 is original to the truck. They were optioned on these trucks in a few rare cases. There's a few other half tons on here with the 6-lug semi-floating D60, 3 if I remember right. The C10 is even listed as having it from a few other Dana sources as a 6-lug.

Looking likely that I'm going to take this on. Talking with my friend about paint.

Interesting, I had thought that they did not come out until the late '70's sometime.
