Folks -
For those of you that hadn't heard, our poor Matilda, a 47 1 Ton was ATTACKED by a large Oak last October. She was still drivable, but the cab roof was dented up pretty bad, and the tailgate was torn off. Poor thing looked like she'd been in a bar fight.
We've finally gotten around to starting the work on her, and have discovered a few other "issues". The floor under the seat is perfed through with rust, but the cab corners seem to be okay.... An acquaintance has a trashed truck with a good cab (1/2 or 3/4T), but I don't know if the cabs are swappable.
Year of manufacture issue aside, are 1 ton cabs the same as the lighter trucks? Am I nuts?
I'll get some pics posted - we've started bumping out the roof and other small insults that were wrought upon us.
I discovered a couple of bondo'd up holes in the fenders where turn signals had been mounted... I thought that they were mounted on the horn rails of the front bumper valance. What is "correct"? I'd appreciate any help you all can provide.
TIA,
John
