They were just starting to do trucks, AD series. Task force was on the drawing board. The site said they were oem quality just brand new. Has anybody seen anything? I can not find it now. Mine was hit on pass side....buckled back of cab, bent rear door post, caved in door, door step, not to mention normal rust from 50 years to floor pans & hinge pockets.... Still drives OK though, frame is OK.
I really need to replace/ repair from toeboard to rear window, any suggestions?

Now wouldn't that be cool.

Now I see the prices and ouch Now to find a good one...... Brad | | | | | Joined: Oct 2000 Posts: 804 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2000 Posts: 804 | I would like to see them in person and FEEL them to get a good idea of quality. I have to say, I have FELT not just looked at a ton of these repro bodies. Everything from Model A Fords, Camaros, Mustangs, 57 Chevy Conv. they are all JUNK. I mean REALLY, REALLY rough. They would take hundreds of hours of finish work to make them straight.
Are these bodies different, I don't know.
