  • 1954 big truck going to the crusher

    Hope someone in the midwest can save this one. Supposedly a rust-free cab. Looks like more than $400 worth of parts. ebay number 190457435394

      Agreed.
      Buy it, stash it until the IM... Then part it out for 10x the money...

        I have news for him, that is a lot heavier than a 1 Ton! Looks like an E40 which came with a 232 V-8, more like 2-5 Ton, check out that Timkin Axle!

          Looks like a good grille panel on it. Would it kill him to pull that off before sending it away?

              Well, the "one day" auction ended with no bids. However, it is relisted for another "one day ONLY"...

                Yeah, it's a 3R28 or (more likely) 3R38. Like Jeff said, it's worth several times the $400 parted out. Rust-free cabs are going for $500-800 back here in the East. Instrument cluster: $100, gas tank: $100, front fenders: $250 apiece, etc. The seller really should have listed it for a week or so. Some of us don't check ebay that frequently.

                    Yes. The entire cab and all of its components will fit. The doors are the same 49-59 and to 64 on big trucks. The hoods will interchange, but are different 49-55 and 56-64. Fenders will interchange, but bigger trucks have bigger wheel openings. 49-53 had two piece windshield, 54-64 had same one-piece windshield. 49-54 had small back window, 55-64 had larger back window. 54-55 had same grille.

                      Yes, all "C" Cab Doors from 1949 to 1964 are the same.
