I was told the cab and all of it's components are the same as the 1/2 ton. Is that the case? Is that bumper and headlights the same? The grill? I would need a few teeth for my 1/2 ton grill and a bumper. I don't believe I would need much if anything from the cab and components, but will gather all that is needed if I can. It does have the motor and tranny in it. Would they be the same as used in the 1/2 ton?
Cab and related components are the same as the pickup.
Bumper, headlights and grille are listed in the 1929-46 Chevy Master Parts Book as the same as the pickups but do not fit COEs (the headlights and grille differ from the passenger cars too).
Engine and transmission basically the same as the pickups. The bigger truck came standard with the 4 speed "crashbox", which was an option on the pickups. The brake/clutch pedal bracket for the 4 speeds are different from the pickup 3 speed units and are hard to find. Definitely worth snagging as we have had folks looking for them in the past.
I would definitely consider checking the condition of the windshield and crank out unit. Both are regularly sought after if in good/rebuildable condition. The dash looks unmolested and perhaps worth the effort to save.
FYI - I'm leaving this thread in the GTT as it is not actually offering to buy/sell anything, just information gathering with the eventual prospect of helping out some fellow Bolters with needs. It's a long time before the spring thaw and DadsFirstPickup getting back to the truck to begin going down that path. In the meantime, anyone interested in specific items can make their needs known, as long as there's no actual sales discussion. If you decide to talk with DadsFirstPickup on potential deals, please take that activity to PM. Thanks!
