Nsane Hot Rodz- 56' Chevy Truck Cab ReBuild!

Re: Nsane Hot Rodz- 56' Chevy Truck Cab ReBuild!

That cab seemed quite rusty compared to most I have seen in east Tennessee. But it looks like they have brought it to a qualified person for the rebuild! Nice work and you are taking the time to do it right.:metal:

Re: Nsane Hot Rodz- 56' Chevy Truck Cab ReBuild!

The more I see of some of the cabs people have to start with the happier I am with what little I had to change on mine.
You guys are doing a nice job on that one.

I agree with that. i was kind of wishing i had started with a better cab that I did but looking around here makes me feel better:lol:

Re: Nsane Hot Rodz- 56' Chevy Truck Cab ReBuild!

Me too. I'm feeling better about my cab already. I wonder how long that brazed on cab corner has been there.

Re: Nsane Hot Rodz- 56' Chevy Truck Cab ReBuild!

Hey guys. This is my cab in the pictures. This is what happens when you buy a vehicle off of Ebay. To think they said this is not a "Rust Bucket". But thanks to this forum, I found NsaneHotRodz and they will save this cab for me. Still cheaper than buying a new reproduction and I'm keeping one on the road.

This was a rare cab with four cab corners;)

In pic six, the back side of the cab vent, is the turned out flange the only thing that keeps water from blowing into the cab when driving in the rain? I've never driven mine in the rain but I have been wondering if the vents let water in.
