Man that thing is sick in a good way. Is that cab narrowed, I can see the welds in the back panel of the cab, just courious. What dash is that, is that a Austin? Anyway, that is one bad ass hauler.

no the cab is standard width, i put the rear window from a 57 chev pickup in,those are the welds you see.the dash is original but with afew mods ,like the center gauge cluster and speedo/tac area.the cab is chopped 3'' sectioned 41/2'' and channeled 71/2''

Thanks for the pics! Are the rear tires 33x21.5 MT's?
If so those are the same size tires I bought for my sons Nash.He don't like them now,so he is going to run reg. tires.

Any of you guys have any good leads on finding rubber components for my Austin? Such as headlight backing rubbers, doorstops, hoodstops, etc. Any leads would be appreciated. Preferrably on our side of the planet would be great.

fatdog409, Have you tried Austin Works? They list some rubber parts for Austins. Here's a link. Maybe they can steer you in the right direction.
