Thanks. This is actually a new pair. The ones that were on it were really beat up and not usable without a huge amount of repair work. I stumbled on this pair a few years ago on FB marketplace of all places. The short one is a good original and the long one appears to be brand new.

new used or otherwise a lot of work went into that pair

wow . when you go you go all out

just found this and went to the site seems there a lot of oos with at least 2nd grade educations

why would floor pan replacement come into play where repairing a foot valve is the issue?

Thank you, and funny you should say that, because I was just looking and found the piece to repair the rusted out cab mounts. I only saw it as part of a kit though, it came with the floor panels and door pieces.  I already ordered the floor panels, but I can send them back.

The mechanics over at F.L. Moore and Sons said to bring it over and we'll put it over the grease pit and take a good look at it underneath. Then if we can fix the broken frame, that's exactly what I'm going to do, just replace the rusted out floor panels and cab mounts. Putting a whole cab on it would be more expensive I'm sure, and probably above my skill level anyway.

And they have the forklift to lift the body off, and we can roll it in and out of the shop instead of working on the ground under a tree.

So I feel better about it today than I did yesterday. 

Od you really need to look closer befor you buy
