I talked to Craig yesterday about the cab rebuild and he said they found a couple of different types of wood in the old cab, (probably from the cosmetic restoration in the 1970's ),and all of it was deteriorated so badly they had to replace every piece of wood in the rebuild. He said the wood on the sides that sit in a shallow well on the cab floor were the worst, and Stathi and his guys are going to need to replace that metal down there because of rust.
