Jack, seem to recall that a fellow ford man in the central west, rebuilt the body with new sides, the triple ribs cut off old unit and welded, brazed to new one and you wouldn,t pick it once painted.

Gidday Bob,
That is one option I am considering. I can repair what I have but I don't know if they will come up to a satisfactory standard. I will start with the timber work and think about the sheet metal as I go. John Bellfield has a complete 39 ute which I can access to copy my missing parts, especially the missing rear panel and timber. I do have the tailgate but it is also pretty sad. With the sides I might get away with patching the rust around the wheel arch and reproducing the bottom rear corners and spot welding the repairs in. |

Would this be of interest Jack? Looks like a civvy body in quite good condition. After reading your thread I recognized it in the background in this Dodge photo.

I've never seen the ambulance version. Fair bit of wind drag in that one even with the top down.
