Looking really good! Sorry the wheel didn't work out. The guys at Flesh are the best, I'd be lost without
their help. With all you have to worry about to get it running and everything, take those small rear doors
and make sure you rust protect them really well. I didn't realize that mine had gotten so bad, and they are
one of the really cool unique features of the older 40's. If you replace them with a tailgate or anything let me know.

No Problems cruiserpilot, ill get the two wheels and column back to you at some point in case you come across someone else that may need them, I appreciate the effort you made to help me out. I like the two door style too, gonna stick with it. they are rusty on the inside bottoms. I still have a few rust spot on the truck to patch up, trying to at least slow the rusting down lol maybe.

If you can find a factory hole in the doors where wiring goes through, just get a can of rust
converter and spray it in there, try to slow it down from the inside. Just hit the outside
with some tremclad. Rust never sleeps, as they say.
No rush on the wheel, I'm at work now. Hang on to it, pay it forward if someone else has the need.

Does it have the wiring harness? I've got one sitting on the shelf to install, but I don't have the square plug that goes into the back for power. It has the power connection Mickey moused, but it'll likely not hold up wheeling.

Congratulations on the new truck.

Mine had a glassed rear tub, not sure how old it was, but the remaining metal had rotted out from under the glass.
