Re: Does anyone offer a NEW cab?

Tooling for a new cab would be crazy expensive and even if all the panels were produced they would still have to be put together. LOTS of welds and lots of time. Steel cabs would probably have to be really expensive to justify the cost and I'm sure shipping one would be expensive as hell too. There are still too many cabs available and all the pieces to fix most of the ones that aren't totally shot are available. I think if you fix something right it shouldn't need to be fixed again for a long time. Like rockers, if they are replaced you also need to coat the insides of them and make sure the drain holes are still there. Dry storage when the truck isn't driven helps a lot too. My two cents. I think it would be neat to have a 'glass cab though... no rust ever again!
