Hi!! I had restored my 57 sc and have hundreds of pics in my facebook's album "restauracion pickup 1957".
I'm under "mundoescarabajo" on face

2 different people. The pic you showed is from the original poster, the restored bus is from another users comments. _________________ ( ⫏ ⫐ )

Thanks for all the reply!
@chrisflstf : thats the basic!
@Buba: your single cab looks good, a long way for me.
@karl h: danke, irgendwer muss jo was posten wenn du lieber Nestalbaust
@64+65doubledoor: Austria, Australia, Argentinia, for many people this is the same, you must now that
So i strip down the chassis from all the parts to work on a clean body.

I too have a 57 single cab and am just about ready to go to paint.
Built a tilt rotiserie of sorts and didn't have the rust you have but still had a ton of work. (working those long gates is a BITCH!)
Pic is right before we began work..
I'll try and post up some more pics, and keep us updated!

My sister lives in Bad Fischau, used to live in Linz, too. There is also a gentleman who restores and rebuilds Busses in Bad Fischau, mostly Bay windows I think. |

Finally got my truck on it's side this summer, well worth the fabrication costs and labor.
