My dad has the top of my '54 5-window cab so that he can graft the corner
windows into his '51 3-window cab (the '54 cab lower half was shot). I was
emailing with a fellow listmember about how to go about this graft, but we
never really followed up on it. I certainly am VERY interested in such a
project. I keep hoping that Custom Classic Trucks will do something like
this.

advice on rust treatments

Please respond to

I'm aware of at least one other rust treatment, called 'zero rust' or
something similar. I too would like to understand why you'd use one
instead
of another.
For the last several months I've been trying to close a deal with a guy who
has a 5-windows cab, and one of the things I've thought about is putting
those windows in another truck. I can't add any knowledge to the
discussion but would be curious what others might have experienced or seen.

Does anyone have any good or bad comments on rust treatments? There are
three products that I have seen mentioned:
Eastwood "corolless"
POR-15
Rust Bullet
And a second thought. Has anyone thought of or tried to make a 5 window
cab
by cutting the window ports out of a thrashed deluxe cab and grafting them
into a good cab? My thought was to cut the windows out right where the
rubber molding is on the outside with the thought that the drop into the
window hole and some "careful welding" might control the warpage, and then
cut the inside close to the door post and the rear window to get some
support for the weld seams on the inside.
Thanks,
