If it doesn't sell, run an ad in your local classifieds. It is way too good to crush. There area a lot of good parts on there.

Here's a couple of pic's of my "new' truck, a 55 Chevy 1.5 ton flat bed that's going to grow up to be a hauler for my 58 Ford tractor.

Looks pretty solid. Already has the right wheel base to be a nice hauler.

Interesting, and you sure have got my attention. How did it work out that you have Spoke Wheels on one side and Budd Wheels on the other??

Don't sweat the the little stuff Bill, just paint the right side of the truck white and the left side black, then people would think you had 2 trucks, not just one.

By the way, the 5.9 and 545 looks good in there, look how easy it is to work on. Why can't they all be that simple.

I changed the front and rear axles. I actually bought a 97 model school bus that had 71k miles for a donor. The only thing orginal to the truck now is the cab, framerails, and front springs. It now has the reyco air ride setup from the school bus under the rear and the front axle from it.

The parts for your Doors should all work with no problem. Check with your local "real" parts store or NAPA for Brake Parts. Check with your local Heavy Fleet Truck store for 2-Speed Selector parts. Either store could also have both parts available.

If you are still having problems finding parts, there is a guy over at Stovebolt.com who is real good at finding some harder to find parts. He also has a lot of books to look up what's available. If you go over there go to the Big Bolt section.

I like the looks of your truck.
Looks like you aren't that far from me either. Greg.
