Love old cab over trucks, those sheet metal corners are fixable, keep an eye out for unusual sources of good sheet metal, might sound odd but old appliances like 50's era have a lot of those same curves to use for patch panels. Awesome truck either way!
Check around you for a street rod builder that has an English Wheel. It's a sheetmetal roller that might recreate that nasty right front bondo disaster. I would cut it out and weld in a new panel. Good Luck! Luv the Willys trucks! AL B in Ohio.
ive always wanted one, but i have 3 Jeeps, a 90 grand wagoneer, a ZJ and took on a 76 Jeep J10 8ft bed last fall, and done a crap ton of work to it to get it runnin and fixed the rust on it etc... but its not done... So i think i should just keep focusing on my J10.. i mean theyre unique as well not many have em on the road if at all anymore.. but an FC is super special imo
Check on cab corners for Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, International. Probably find one that will work and look more finished. Just don't paint it all in flat black rattle can!! Lots of work ahead of you. Once you start I am sure everything will not be so "Super". Good luck.
I’m not jealous of the amount of work this is going to take.
'red putty 'was used a lot when primer was lacquer. In the 60s & 70s.
Had one 10 yrs ago still kicking my self in the ass
That’s a cool project
So cool! You make me jealous! Can't wait to see your next video!

One of my Dads friends had a cherry pie version FC 170. Of course it was only 6 years old then in 1968.
