Looking for a nice closeup of this area to see what it should look like on 40-47 cabs. (other than my rusty mess)

I have no pictures, but that looks pretty good compared to the rot I had on my 45 I restored back in the early 80's

i agree with ralph, not too bad. i do have a couple pics of sills in my album--listed as updates. not real close pics, but, maybe you could zoom in for details.

This one was probably in about the same condition. This pickup was put together in Texas some time around 2000. Both sides are similar and it all is solid. 0 evidence of rust anywhere else.

Hopefully, this link will take you to my total restoration project. Maybe it will answer some questions.

You did a very nice job on that truck.You should enter that truck in Concourse. It would do fine. That a nice truck. Are you still going to Branson? Hope so. I am going to drive one of these Junker to Calif next year.

Redneck,
I am not going to Branson, but plan on driving my "50 to Lake Tahoe next year. I have driven my '50 in 22 states and will pick up at least 8 more next year.

Hi, thanks for the pics, I went though the entire build pic thread but i still need a closer look, if you put your camera on "macro" and get a pic 6" away from that corner.

My 41, no doors yet up on the lift. Hope this helps..

Here is one of mine, a little surface rust but in good shape for an original.

Hi, ive done many 38-48 cabs & you have a cherry there . its As it left the plant i am sure[exept for the surface patina].
Just give it a sturdy wire buff & your in business.
