Nothing like old tires. Kinda like Russian Roullette. Give them a spin and they might be A-OK while they might fall apart in spectacular fashion.
cross my fingers,and hope they last. it will never be far won,t leave our land.
started repairing rear cab support ,they are made of hard wood!!! bought cab corners, rockers, and floor parts. hopefully i can straighten up the cab in the next couple off weeks. there are 6 cab support all off wood with a spring below frame for play. i will take a picture when its going back together to better understand. 
Very cool build! My brother is building a 46 Ford. Too bad you are far away cause he has an extra cab that looks to possibly be in better shape than yours. Keep up the good work!
i got a second cab its rough shape exterior, crossing my fingers that i can find some good parts will know this weekend. i would be all over a rust free cab!!! your brother have any grille parts ! i,m missing a few grille bars. 
I'm not sure, his was the 1/2 ton truck though. Grill might be different but I think the cabs are the same

yeah! got the tank repaired. a friend had left over sealer ,from an other project. maybe going to pick it up next week. hope to install it in a few weeks. tired of running in a 5 gal pale.
got a bit more done. 
got the floor done ! got my gas tank back. 
thanks!
Good progress. Did you find grill parts, or will you have to make them?
no i didn,t find grille parts yet,still on the look out for grille bars. i mostly need the 3 middle ones,the others are repairable. they sell reproductions ,price is reasonable. i won,t need them for a good while ,so i,m watching for good originals.
