Thanks to msmall and Paul WNC for your response on these questions. I was thinking along the same lines as both of you. Will get measurements and photos of bumper mount area and rear window lip some time today and post ASAP. Would like to order window glass and gaskets now.
Have made other progress in the mean time. I removed rear axle and degreased / primed / painted and is ready to reinstall. By the numbers it seems to be from a 1956 GMC with a 3.08 open gear ratio. (not sure I'm going to like that ratio) but will work with it until it is drivable and then decide. Also installed new brake & clutch pedals that were some of the other missing parts.
Don't know if I mentioned this before but, PO spent a lot of time and $$$ on this frame off restore/modification and I would have done a lot of the same things to make this a daily driver ... faster speeds and better stopping power. I guess I will see once it's running under it's own power.
Thanks again guys. Jim D.
P.S. will see if I can post picture of grandfather's 1940 potato truck.
