the C8 I am working on

Canada is a big country with many different temperature and humidity variations. In post #2 I showed pictures of a truck cab that I brought home from the Province of Manitoba. Manitoba is very cold in the winter and very hot and dry in the summer, as a result the rust issues that Holland and Ontario deal with are far less out there. The Manitoba cab provided a dot&dash floor that had virtually no rust pitting and perfectly preserved and complete interior sheet metal. The roof and fenders needed no patching or straightening and the windshield frame was in very,very good condition. Between the Manitoba truck cab and the Ripley truck cab and chassis I had enough good parts to build the restoration. If I had not gotten the Manitoba cab I would be fighting the same corrosion problems as your restoration. After seeing what some other MLU members restore and create I seem to be only taking on the easy trucks to restore.

Does that make me lazy or shrewd?
