everything is there. Your talking about a B1B "Pilothouse" truck. I have seen parts trucks for $100-$200, complete runners are in the 2-4K range. Full restored in the 8-9 K range. These trucks are becoming more popular as projects (guess the chevy & ford guys are starting to "think different") and prices for parts are climbing in the junkyards so get as complete a truck as possible. Many mechanical parts are shared with the same era passenger cars, however trim and body can be expensive. ( I saw a front grille go for over $500 on ebay in the last two months.) I have a '49 3/4 T I am rebuilding as a 1 ton dually. If it's a 3 speed it will be a syncro, 4 speed a crash box. These are fun trucks and will cruise at 60 mph all day long. Good resources are at http://network54.com/Hide/Forum/111006 which is a Pilothouse forum. Also people post on forum at www.p15-d24.com since many of the components are shared. I also have www.pilot-house.com which will have additional truck specific info in the future. Hope this helps and if you have any questions email me direct.
