At least if you're lucky they do! Just pulled the interior (sadly, no build sheet, unless it's behing the tank). Being from the midwest, it's a nice change to work on these southern vehicles that aren't rotted!

Show off! Nice looking cab, mine is not even close to being like that in one of my trucks.

Nice looking truck you're taking apart there.

Rob H. · 03-14-2012, 07:29 PM

Man I'm happy if my roof looks that good here! Nice looking truck!

Nice cab!

Check the seat. I found the build sheet for my 72 stuck in the seat springs.

Wow, never saw that before, is that factory paint, i thought all trucks came with rusty floors. Good luck with your build

I also thought they came from the factory with surface rusted floors.

I prefer my custom floor vents. Custom.

**special-K** · 03-15-2012, 05:54 AM

NICE! That's always a welcome sight. My '72 is from CA but that was ten years ago and now it has rust showing in both outer rockers and a cab corner. I just replaced my carpet and was sweating what I'd find. I was pleased to find what you did. Still a clean painted floor! ahhhhhh....now I can relax

67anthony · 03-15-2012, 08:36 AM

I have floors like that too. Mine just look solid because of the factory rubber mat.

This is how we roll with our trucks in New England.

We only see floors like that in pictures, unless we build them.
