So they made the B-755 with both cab styles? Is one earlier, one later?

AZB, that is a beautiful truck...I really like the blue.

Both of these B-755 are 1965's, wonder how close the serial numbers are between them.

Both B & L cabs in B-7xx series were available to end of production in 1966. 

When I choose the color for the truck the painter really did not want to paint it. He had never used that color on a truck. It tuned out nice and everyone that comments on the color likes it as well, including the painter after it was done. When I got the truck cab from a drilling company out of Texas it was a darker shade of a similar color. 

Thanks for liking it to.

AZB did Matt do that truck or parts of it? i remember seein it at Gerharts i think the first year you had it done.

Matt did this truck. It took me 16 years to get all really good parts to put it together. There are 6 donor truck in to this B755. I did not have the time to put it all together and Matt had it for two years if I recall right. 2013 Gerharts was the first time I saw it complete myself. I did a short punch list of "to does" and it was shipped out to Arizona. I have done or am doing the restorations on other trucks myself.
