    everytime I see that RL Mike I love it even more......

    usually with my luck the metal/aluminum will gauld together and corrode and when you try to back the bolt out it will break the bolt circle out of the hubcap....I have put those damn hubcaps on brand new and had them leak out of the window before so I def wouldn't try putting just a window kit in a 45 year old hubcap

    didn't the aluminum radiator shell come out around 56 57? or was it 58? when were tubeless tires first available??
  4. Maddog13407
    is that a chevy LS under there??
  5. Maddog13407
    probably should offer up the rest of the truck for that price to....
  6. Maddog13407
    im sure we're all on the same page and regardless, im lookin at a 10 grand running driving truck that NEEDS restoration

    remember going by there 15-20 years ago and they had cabs on pallet racking up high

    You could not give me a motorhome. after workin in a big truck garage long enough and servicing those things half the springtime, they are all junk. we have rebuilt a few that have been in accidents to. total junk full of zip screws and spray foam

    been there, and had the panel in and out 10 times, chipped paint on door edge, opened and closed door 100 times to get it right, cracked door glass. been down all those roads. I guess if it was east everyone would do it right? B model doors and gut installation can try your mind

    285 Maxidynes with tip turbines were gold, 300+'s were that red color with the tip turbine as far as I know. kinda like a red 'Glyptol'color

    try some PB Blaster sprayed on the window channel first Larry. might be messy for a bit but everything needs lube

    1956 B model cab. worst rust is door hinge areas. floors are pretty solid. back is almost dent free with the usual rust on bottom. $500 or make me an offer. located in Upstate Ny.

    i have seen the same box made by signal stat and KD also.
  14. Maddog13407
    yup with no door hinge cover plates and that garbage signal light switch puts it at least 1963 and newer
  15. Maddog13407
    I remember that black LJ tandem with red bumper at Macungie years ago
  16. Maddog13407
    still has that shitty Isuzu/Kodiak look of the 2003-2008 Chevy Kodiak trucks that mostly Schwanns used. I dunno we are waitin for the word that ours is in. have the new tow body waiting in the shop for install
  17. Maddog13407
    depends on which Monoshift and duplex you have??? if you are takin a 67 series out and putting one in youll be fine with mounts. same with a 72 series. I think the floor was cut for a monoshift same as a duplex with the tear drop hole. if you install the triplex there is a lot more work.
  18. Maddog13407
    would like that L cab B in my collection. just dunno if its 5 grand for 50 grand.....
  19. Maddog13407
    no doubt that B was probably done back when you could buy a new front clip from Tidewater reasonably as the sheetmetal looks straight

    ialways thought Miss Jesse started out as a B75 and Waylon had a shop make it a B77 or B773, somewhere I have read a story of the Diesel shop he used back in the day for his fleet. he also had an F model and I have seen pictures of a cabover KW
  21. Maddog13407
    prices would help weed out us poor folks
  22. Maddog13407
    blowing snow=blocking it out, theres the simple explanation. that goes way back to the B model years with the Summer and Winter setting on the air cleaner
  23. Maddog13407
    JC whitney has the solid foam in different sizes. I used it for vent and doors before. the hollow core stuff is totally garbage in a B model
  24. Maddog13407
    went to the local paint glass and body supply store Larry. I cheaped out and only put the chrome beaded stuff on the top where people could see. put the cheap window channel in the channel in the panel itself. I used black weatherstrip adhesive. I think the window wipes themselves I used generic cut to fit stuff. maybe for an 70's Ford or square body Chevy. I have used R model stuff on a B model before to
  25. Maddog13407
    that Franchi red R appears to be a mix and match of parts?? old style cab with short back, new style grab handle and roof lights, older style R600 emblem, 1979ish hood with the rear fender crease, 1980's style fuel tanks....
