Re: Cab Damage to extensive?
As a matter fact I picked it up today hood is in good shape and cab looks very good like any other cab it needs a little work Cab corners and small dents here in there . The donor truck has power steering which I would like to use in the old 67. Also has a 390 with automatic transmission I think I would like to take that out and use It as well

looks like a good truck. If you are going to put PS in yours and its a factory fe, the left side frame mount is different.You will have to use the one off your parts truck and the steering column also. Unless its a bendix box or you shorten your column. Good luck with your build ![Thumbs up :thup:](./images/smilies/icon_thumright.gif)

Looks good. From the body lines make sure the front cab mounts are OK.

Good luck, Sounds familiar, I bought a 69 Ranger last year for about the same price to replace the cab on my 67. Only small difference should be the hood bumpers between a 67 and 69. Just finished sandblasting and it's amazing where the little holes start showing up. It had been in a barn and I think rat piss caused a lot of the problems in strange places.

Re: Cab Damage to extensive?
Good call - as much as I like a challenge, you had a lot of rot to deal with. This kick starts your project and gives you the opportunity to work on your welding/fabrication skills on something more realistic than your original cab.
Nice find - good luck with the build![Thumbs up :thup:](./images/smilies/icon_thumright.gif)

Re: Cab Damage to extensive?
I'm not really sure what those things would go for the mirrors I don't plan to use i've been taking a break weather's been bad very cold and wet. I'm just getting ready to sandblast frame prime and paint it and start to rebuild fun is just beginning
