Yes, welcome to the Stovebolt! I grew up in western ND, and my 56 pickup came from there as well. Tons of expertise on this site. Send pics in when you get a chance.
I too am from western ND, northwestern to be exact, 95 miles NW of Minot. The old hometown is an oil town now, nothing like when I was a kid. Live over NW of Devils Lake now. I just received the doors back from the body shop for the old 2 ton. Had patch panels put in where the lower weatherstrip retainer sits. Had some pin holes in both. Am finding some parts for the 2 tons are not reproduced either. Had to have both front spring hangers made at a machine shop, ended up over $100 for two bolts. Will try to post pictures at some point, have been documenting the progress or lack thereof. Thanks for the greeting.
