I've got a few pix, nothing spectacular.
its an old rust bucket, in a little rougher shape than yours.
right now I'm trying to get the frame in roller form, then its time to fit the body. I've been eye-balling your framework, takin' a few notes, might come in handy when I finally get around to fitting the body to the frame.

what kind of frame are you using??
mine is a Total Performance frame.

keep the pictures coming Bro. I appreciate them

p.s. don't listen to some of these other mal-contents, they are just jealous    );b(

the chassis is we call it or frame as you call it is made from 3x2 box same as a bucket only longer at the rear than a bucket im still thinking how Im doing the front I am using tube axle but think of using vw rear torsion bars instead of the front spring this will drop the front the rear is good old jag easy to mount my body width is 47inches (sorry I use metric here) the body is built from 1.18inch box braced on all corners  the hight is orignal ford c cab panels I have also got the orignal guards (fenders) & running boards so all those are going to be used only need to lengthen the front ones Ill post some photos of the frame for you & get some better ones of the body, Andy Brizio c cab built one in the 70s this is what gave me inspiration But Im still looking for more photos of that car & I cant find much any leads

Hey C-cab........could I ask a favor of ya??

what is the measurement from body mount to body mount on your cab?
my cab is bent pretty good, and I need to straighten it, but I need to know how far.

Thanks
