I am starting to rebuild a 3600 and the cab is near history. Someone is giving me a 1 1/2 ton, 5 window cab that is very nice condition. I know the E-Brakes are different but that is no problem for me.
Thanks in advance

| | | | | | ZooKeeper Unregistered | | ZooKeeper Unregistered | Fenders, hood & grill from 1ton down are all the same also. You can use the bars from the larger trucks to make a grill BUT you have to use all the bars because they are taller then the 1ton & smaller trucks, but the width is the same...Joe | | | | | Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 145 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 145 | Thanks again for all the help. I'll try to figger out how to post some pics.
My Dad bought this truck in December of 1949 as a flatbed and has been in the family since. I am getting ready to rebuild it for my Son that is in the Navy.
I have all the original fenders, grill and other parts but the cab is history so far as I'm concerned.
