I know Bobby had one out in crescent city California about a year ago, he was clearing house had to be out of his shop not sure if he still has it and don’t have contacts for him anymore if anyone on here knows. @cppilot not sure if you know or not.

Thanks for the leads. I don’t think I can stomach 10k for a new body. Probably can fix mine for that price tag.

Damn. That would be huge to have something from California. But who knows. I’m sure it’s long since sold.

I have a project in the wings and I’m looking forward to building it. Whatever the purchase price would be would have to cover the price of replacement, so I’d think the topnaught would be your best option…

Appreciate the help so far. Here’s what Im working with currently.

I have a 1977 fj45 frame that I got from out west. Well it’s from Canada so it’s got issues. It was a hassle to get it to Virginia… but here is it getting sand blasted. It needs some good amount of repairs but it’s better than what I have currently. Collecting all the pieces! Slowly but surely. I’m going to Be poor after this project…..

Part of the price of admission into the 45 club is being poor after starting a project. 60s and even 55s have a decent amount of parts available…which is not the case in 45 land. Patience is key.

But isn’t that the fun of it also. I’m just happy to have one of these trucks in general.

Also if anyone can help me get the “build” label in my title that would be awesome. I can’t seem to figure that out.

I saw some on marketplace in copperhill, TN. Closer to Chattanooga area. Not sure what year(s) the cabs were. They might be @TurboScott cabs??

I believe we have spoken before. Not sure he had the stuff I was looking for unfortunately. But maybe he got different inventory this time around
