Re: What parts aren't out there?

Ok...here's my thoughts.

It seems like about half of the cab is being repoduced now, this maybe from various vendors..(not sure on that one)..but it doesn't seem like it would be far from the range of work to produce a complete cab shell? Does it?

Here's what I know if being reproduced now for the cab:
  • Complete floor
  • Inner Rockers
  • Outer Rocker
  • Rear Corners
  • Front Corners
  • Drip Rail
  • Inside front roof edge
  • Floor/Firewall section

Why not take the extra steps and do a complete cab? Think about it...all the patch work time/money that could be saved!!

Other thoughts are:
  • Bed floors (both LWB & SWB)
  • Cowl panel (both stock & smoothed)
  • Complete a/c dash
  • Windshield patch sections (if not going to do whole cab)
  • Some kind of better replacement hood hinges (maybe billet? but that would bolt on as stock)

That's about all I can think of at this time....

Now, lets see some photos of those prototypes!
