ok brought it home last sunday, started working on it today, pretty rough but solid. nice thing is being im not restoring it I can pretty much weld it up as I see fit and not follow any original body lines, makes it easier I would say

another bonus today is stopping by my buddy scotts place in courtice, he brings back western iron from places like alberta and such, he had a pair of mystery fenders I bought for 50 bucks, turns out they are 1938 chev truck fenders and fit my 40, I will use them as they are rather mint shape compared to the fenders I have
since I don't have to conform to any known design as im not restoring this im going to make the body really strong by using 1.5 inch square tube at the bottom to anchor the side sheet metal to, I should be able to lift it up by the sides of the body pretty easy when im done
yup that's it.. bought a tailgate off him for a wall hanger and bought a cutout section of a rear window from a cab... planning on using them for striping/lettering projects - donation pieces probably for Cleveland Autorama this year. Nice Guy - He was on the Stapley organized Tackaberry Tour this year too.

went there yesterday, scored a Harrison heater for my truck, 20 bucks and a front bumper, 50 bucks. that is the wild ****.
the frame from my panel is for sale if anyone needs it, is in excellent shape, engine crossmember is oddly rotted out a bit but the rails and other parts are perfect, cames with axles and stuff, rolling frame
