so I now have got the cab stripped down and I am now in need of a few pointers on where to find new tin? I need a new floor, new windsheild hinges, a gas tank, the piece of tin over the wiper motor plus on of the small covers for it ( sorry don't know what it really is called) and if anyone knows if there were any kick panels I would appreciate it. I have looked everywhere online and I cant seem to find anything other then a fiberglass floor and I dont trust those much.

That is how they were originally. On the otherhand, the fiberglass can be strong as or stronger than steel if reinforced properly.
There is a kick panel that is below the firewall to the floor.
For a gastank, I could get one made for cheaper than they are sold online...go visit a metal fabricator in your area.
I have an extra set of windsheild hinges. What are you willing to pay for them? I have no clue what they are worth.

Watch e Bay for the pieces and parts you need.
Most of the old parts suppliers have cardboard kick panels. They make a nice pattern for some heaver material, like plywood or sheetmetal
