Here is a pic of the old 62. Got it from a local guy last month. 235 ,3 on tha tree Looks a lil rough as it sets, but its actuallly in pretty decent shape. Missing a few things. Windshield ,front bumper, headlight assemblies and driver side interior door panel being the major ones.

I see you've caught up with the Southern Bolters already! Good on ya. You'll find them a most gracious bunch.
Also good to see you figured out how to post some images! We are picture-crazy around here. It comes in very handy when work in The Shops forums.

The 62 has some issues, but I am pretty sure I can tackle it. Frame is rust free. Tank has been replaced. Bed has only 2 small places in the step inside corner and wood is gone already. Floor is decent in the cab. Interior is all there except driver door panel and 2 inside handles. 235 hasnt fired up yet. 3spd seems good to go. No windshield is my biggest hurdle ,but will get it after all cab welding is done Headlight rings, bowls and mount plates are gone, but PO had new bezels already.
I am ready for spring

haha. Was for me, actually. I've learned a bunch from this group, myself.
If you need some help with the *stuff* you mentioned, I think we have all those areas (and then some ) covered in The Shop Area. (Just finishing up our stats for January ... the Shops are the most active areas in our Forums.) A lot of great help, should you need it.
