A 3/4 apt?

Thanks for the reply

The cab is so carefully cut out to mate to the what I hoped was an APT tub...I am not sure it is easily separable. I haven't looked too close at the floor, but it looks to be a blend of both trucks. I believe the cab to be a 54 ford, and if you look close you can see where the gauge cluster for the ford leaves a space over the APT tub.

The Grandfather who owned this truck was a very talented welder and bush worker. lots of the additions or repairs to the truck were very much due to the cold winters and working with what he had on hand. He used the truck to support his family with work and snow plowing over the years.

The truck has a lot of history and value to the family, it is an honour for me to get the opportunity to own it. I wish I had met the fellow as I think he would have a great bunch of stories to tell.

I went yesterday with my cellphone, but am documenting the process of retrieving the truck, as well as it is my hope to sit with family members and create a small photo and story/history book for the family to have. I want to document all that this truck has done and what it meant to them. Apparently the grandkids remember riding in it picking raspberries etc. It is critical that I save these memories from the scrap pile and ensure that the truck lives on in a book, and in my driveway.

I still have to bring it home, but that will most likely be next weekend. I can post up some more detailed shots when I have it in the yard.
