@ olezippi - He's getting there! A couple weeks ago I took the headliner out, and managed to get the instrument panel out [for future restoration]. The cab is basically a shell now, and hubby took the two front rims off to see what all we need to do there. I also took everything off of and out of the seat... A rat or mouse had been VERY busy with leaves, corn cobs, and hickory nuts! I even found 1' long slivers of barn wood up in it. LoL I was pretty stoked to find a few bits of the original seat covering! Ironically, the faux leather I bought [to fix it for now] matches very close to what was originally on it.
My newest conundrum... Hubby and I have decided that the steering box isn't original. We're trying to determine what year it is so we can get the proper parts to repair it. [I'm not sure of the technical name for it, but] the type that they slid over the rod that goes between the steering box and the steering wheel has been shortened at the end to make it fit this current setup. I did find the part number on it, but I haven't had any luck in identifying the year of it.
