not until it rolls back to all zeros. then you can say it is a barn find!!
i think you are gonna beat me to it.
i still need to repair the rear shock mounts, put the valve cover gaskets in, and re wire the rear end. then bolt the bed back on.

 

LOL @ barn find
I did find my 56 panel in a barn.
Once I scraped all the brd poo off, I had something!

 

the 04 was delivered back to the house yesterday from the body shop. you can not go over about 25 mph because the front tires are pregnant.
the speedometer does not work because the abs pump is not hooked up. no wipers on the arms. no headlight switch in the dash.
not heater control in the dash. and it has a vacuum leak i cant find yet.
i guess i still have some work to do to it before it goes back on the road.
good thing i did not pay for the cab swap!!!

 

Beats that 62 F 650 I had.
Slammed the brakes on 1 day, and if it weren't for the crossover pipe on the back of the 292 hitting the firewall, I'da been sitting in the cab, in front of the truck!
My buddy was going to swap the cab over for me and didn't tell me he had started. I was headed to the quarry to pick up a load of #2's

 

But there ain't nothing wrong with the radio LOL

 

yup, the radio is excellent.
holy crap on a cracker, have parts prices gone through the roof!!!.
a friggin plain no frills headlight is $74 from rock auto, and $122 from NAPA.
but i called my buddy at the junk yard that takes away the carcasses of my project and he said "i got a few of them, come on down"
headlight switch, heat/ac control panel, 2 wiper arms with good blades, and a set of manual tow mirrors cost me a promise of a quart of apple pie next time i am in the area.
he is also going to keep an eye out for power door lock actuators and a passenger side power window regulator for me.

 

watch out, there are 2 diff hl switches in 04.......

 

actually there are 4.
headlights only, headlights and auto lights, headlights and fog lights, and headlights, fog lights, and auto lights.
