Don't want to discourage you (I like the looks of the 'H' as well) but you are talking about one of the worst class 8 trucks ever built! The cabs had severe rust issues and VERY few survived into the 70's, let alone today. The cab was a heavily modified Budd 'C' cab, and though many of those are still around not a lot of parts interchange with the H other than the doors and glass. Most H's were Cummins N powered, so at least if you find one you have a good shot at getting or keeping it running. Back in the day the H was called the 'Two Story Falcon'. I don't think it was a compliment!

Best of luck, I hope you find a good one.
