Re: Rear cab panel replacement?

those #@*%$# nice people in texas and california are always posting up rust free cabs
i'd be more inclined to replace the cab or sections of the cab before spending that kind of change
I'm with Ogre, I'd drive a day or so to pick up a good cab rather than spend weeks working to replace that much. Boise Idaho CL has two good cabs listed but I looked and they sold, both were around $300. Also some in the Eastern part of Idaho too. I would suspect eastern UT and Wyoming might be good places to look too, all high desert, low moisture places. A CL wanted post in selected places might turn up on close enough to drive and pick up from NE.
