Default First of all Welcome......

....to the crazy and Zany world of CMP.

You have a good start...... cab looks good and so does the frame...... which as noted appears Bobbed...... no pun intended.

Getting another one for parts is the wise thing to do..... at least one if not....well you will see how crazy it gets....

...but I am confused..... I am under the impression that the ID tag you showed is from a cab 11 or cab 12... yours is later cab 13..... or am I wrong.

Also from the angle of the pictures I am not sure of the size fo the rims/tires.... are they infact 20 inch rims or 16 inches......???

Please entertain us with as many pictures as possible.... most of us can't read to good..... and don't be afraid to ask questions......

You will no doubt need shop manuals if you do not already have them ..... repro are available from Grant on MLU .... they make for nice late night reading and can save you a lots of frustration.

It will be easier if you can find yourself an original tranny with bell housing for the right side cluthc....and T case. As for the engine I would suggest you shop around for a more recent late 1950s Chev 261......which will bolt up to your 216 tranny/BH... it may need rebuilding but will give you 50++% more torque and HP...... more dependable lubrication and parts availability in the prairies should be good.

Hoping to see pics of the next one to follow.
