The truck certainly didn't have an easy life. The box and cab hadn't been cleaned out since it came from DND. The cab floor is the dot and dash plate and the box floor is just the diamond style. With some cleaning and sand blasting the cab floor will come up okay. I am thinking that, as you suggest, the box floor may be good enough to reuse as a base for rebuild.

The truck was well tied down for the trip home and nothing was going to fall off. There was a cut out for a roof hatch that has a patch plate carefully welded into the opening.

I called Brian Asbury about some parts specific to the 12 cab and was very discouraged at what I found out about the head light pots.

We changed the engine oil and oiled up the cylinders and pulled the truck around in gear yesterday to free up the engine. The tappet cover and oil pan have been removed and the top of the head cleaned and flushed with solvent. I'll put new oil in it again and we might have tme today to see if we can get the engine to start.
