Okay here is what we started out with and some more pics
Here is her Orginal hood number
Once we started taking it apart here are some pics
Taking the cab off
Now just a frame and engine
The engine out and start taking it apart Hercules JXD
We found a 1947 Studebaker M series that became a donor cab for the US6 as the cab for the US6 was in bad shape. Here are the two cabs the newer one is still on the ground
Orginal cab
Donor cab
These will be taken to a friend who is going to make the corrections to make the civi cab a military cab.
Took the frame to get sand blasted and then she got a coating of OD paint from Gillipes (sp)
Here she is in Paint
Here is the bad I found for her going to need some work
Im hoping to make it look like this when I'm done minus the winch
Hope you like them
Ken
