    Not out of line at all. I paid $ 900 for my '39 Dodge cab, and we had to drive to Atlanta to get it.

    This is cool looking! I wish I could have found an earlier model cab for mine but a 54 was the best I could come up with. What kind of drivetrain are you thinking?

    the frame is welded. i think i over built it but it's strong. next i will put it on the ground so i can set the front ride hight and build the front axel. for this im using parts from a d30 jeep front axel so i will have disk brakes and good bearings to roll on. i will post pics when i get to that point

    here is were im at now
