thanks, I've had this truck about 3 years doing work when i had time and money. its a september 1942 and it was delivered as a cab and chassis. It use to be a closed cab but the one that was on it was trashed so i bought a open cab 353 for parts and i used the cab off it. I bought the m35 bed thinking that it would be forever before i found the right bed and if i did it would need alot of work. it currently has a post war engine in it but Tom from VOV is rebuilding a wwii block for me right now and should be all ready for me to install when i get home.
