Kevin,

Good to see the project will get another chance! I agree with the others that it always brakes my heart to see previously restored trucks end up in a sad condition. I remember seeing an Austin K3(?) on HMVF, someones pride and joy about 30 years ago. When the original owner asked, it was soon discovered that the truck still existed, but it was now being used as a parts truck due to the sad condition it is in today.

I don't know if it helps, but a guy here in Holland is offering a Ford F60L cab frame, front clip and some other parts. Clip is pretty rusted, but frame seems to be good. Is it just a matter of removing the extra brace in the frame to convert Ford into Chev.....or is there more than meets the eye? And what about wheel wells on a 3 Ton truck compared with a 15cwt?

Alex
