Besides the patch panels and the clock, I picked up some nice sail panels and a couple of NOS inside door handles. Just waiting on the Brown Truck and then I'll post some pics. I know I'm a long ways off from needing them but the deal was too good to pass up.
I also located another truck that I'm trying to track down the owner. The house it is sitting at is empty with a lot of laying around like somebody moved out and left a bunch of stuff. I've done a little research and so far I've found that the old man that lived there died a while back and his wife died this year. There is also a son that I haven't been able to locate much info on yet but I'm working on it.
Why am I doing this? The truck is a 65 3/4 ton. From what I have been able to see, it has a perfect aluminum grill, chrome windshield trim, instrument panel with gauges (no tach) and custom knobs, a custom seat, and possibly a clock that has been taken off the dash. The body panels are all staight but rusty in all the normal places. It looks as though it's been sitting quite a while, in fact, I've been driving past it for over a year and it hasn't moved. There is also a camper on jacks that was probably used with the truck. Anyway, I'm still investigating.

If you don,t get that truck, I have a instrument panel w/gauges thst I would let go.
