61 c15 Apache Build

I will have pictures of the project as soon as the snow melts the truck, cab, and donor vehicle out of the snow bank. We were very lucky to find a very solid cab from a 63 c60 farm truck that was exclusively used for potato transport in the fall only. But as the pics from above show Maine trucks have RUST from tip to tail in every place. Luckily my father is a master body man with over 40 years experience resurrecting crusher bait in to museum quality trucks and cars.

As for the Oliver tractor with a 235 conversion I have seen it done before and it can be done with very little effort. The hardest part is rigging up the aftermarket Governor.The hope is to send as little of the truck and donor vehicle to scrap yard as possible. No need for the American steel to be shipped to Japan to be melted down in to toyotas.
