Ease of getting them is worth something. No off-roading required for pick up.

Shame the glass isn’t better but I think that’s asking a lot of 70 year old trucks.

Mike delivered this afternoon!

no time wasted, cab popped and ready for some rework before rolling under the new chassis.

day two pretty close to her home.  chassis and cab trimmed, dropped down to pretty close to where it needs to be.  some center cab mount tin work and some bolts should be mounted tomorrow. 

big summit order placed, radiator and fan on its way from ebay.

investigated glass costs, need to pull the PCM to send out.  could be firable next week/weekend

I'd say keep it SRW but make bed barely wide enough to cover DRW.   When you sell it, you can offer an upgrade to DRW for $1.5k (random number I thought of) extra.
