I would opine that the cab probably started out as a 36-40 cab forward Stude truck. The general shape of the grille opening and fenders, the air vents, and the headlight mountings look Stude Metro to me. Agree it has been chopped, and the various cab and fender seams have been welded or filled in. The FWD-looking extension under the grille looks weird.Skip Lackie

well, whatever it is, it sure has a heap of metal work done to it! The first photo reminds me of an old diesel locomotive. I like...too bad there aren't any photos of the whole rig. cheers, juniorsigpic

As for as the "doohickey" under the grille, at first, I thought "winch," but now I believe it is a pretty neat cover for the cab pivot. Too bad it is listed on craigslist. Ebay would probably be the best way to locate a possible customer for such a small group of potential buyers of an unfinished project this big.sigpic

I'd love to see a shot of the rear section but IAC, considering it comes with a roll back, interior and wheels among other accessories, someone is going to get a great project and eventually hauler. Make one wish they were 30 years younger as that would be people/prize magnet at any show. Bob
