The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Panels 'N Burbs This may be sacrilegious but...

we have got a 58 Panel that we took the front clip off of this past weekend to start doing body work. We found the reason we couldn't adjust the driver's side fender in to clear the door was because someone in the last 45 some years rewelded the sheetmetal hump just in front of the drivers door and it sticks out too far. Along with the holes in both floor pans, rotted passenger lower door post. welded in bad replacement door pans etc etc with what we found this weekend, we were wondering.... I located a 58 truck cab that is in great shape. Would a truck cab fit in place of the front part of a panel? We know it would be a tremendous amount of work to replace the front cab but when we look at all the other work of patching and fitting etc., it just might be worth it. Any ideas?

Thanks

Mike
