I bought a '39 GMC cab awhile back, mostly just to snag the seat, fuel tank, wiper motor, door hardware, and the windshield frame to put in my '46 half ton.

Originally, I was going to just pull the parts I wanted, then let the previous owner send it to the crusher.. but I decided i'd bring it home and pick parts at my leisure.

Well I got it home finally, sat it next to the '46 2 ton.. and now the brain starts turning.. what if I were to piece together a '38 Chevy 1/2 ton? Slap together the body parts on something like an S10 frame??

Cab is solid and rust free.. it's got a dent in the roof from some farmer standing on it, but other than that is dent free.

Logic says I should just yank the parts off I need then roll it into the gully.. but the other half says, "Man! Build a '39!!"


an idea is only stupid if you think about it rationally.
