What I found at a salvage yard. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The Big Green · 02-19-2009, 01:44 AM

I was searching for a D-shaft for my 85 K5, and I found a 67-72 truck cab. The cab was on a pallet, brand new cab and doors, gutless, and in the black gelcoat. What do these sale for? The guy said $800, and I was just wondering. Also found an air dash in one truck. I went to a salvage yard, biggest in my area, I'm guessing 60acres or so. That place is awesome! Spent like 2hrs there, and I wanna go back lol

CG · 02-19-2009, 01:51 AM

You shoulda bought it

67ChevyRedneck · 02-19-2009, 01:51 AM

If it is indeed a brand new factory cab, $800 is a S T E A L. A set of NOS doors will sell for that much.

Even if it's a restored cab and factory doors, 100% rust free that's still a good price.

*chevy29267truck* · 02-19-2009, 02:06 AM

a cab with out any thing on it sells for $300 and a cab with ever thing on the cab sells if very good shape $1500

Critter · 02-19-2009, 02:21 AM

Curious if it has a title??? Not that it would stop me from buying it.

The Big Green · 02-19-2009, 02:34 AM

It was brand new, minor dings from shipping and rust inside the doors from sitting but nothing bad. It's the shell, no guts, and doors, not guts, but has the black gelcoat still. I wish I could buy it. Not sure if its titled but you can get around that LOL.

**68350** · 02-19-2009, 02:42 AM

I didn't know they reproduced the whole cab yet? I know the have full floor pans and about every patch, but not a full cab?

67ChevyRedneck · 02-19-2009, 02:57 AM

The 67-72 cabs are made in fiberglass. No "new steel" that I'm aware of.

You can get a 47-55 1st series cab in steel for about $9,000!!!

*chevy29267truck* · 02-19-2009, 03:28 AM

i also see there selling brand new full floors for the 67-72 chevy trucks for inside the trucks cab

The Big Green · 02-19-2009, 09:29 AM

Maybe it's been beadblasted, either way it's a black basecoat on a steel unrusted out bare cab.

Big Green,

Where is this salvage yard???????????????? I'm in Fayetteville and all the ones up here are fairly picked over and prices are high. Please let me know! I've been looking for a good salvage yard in the area!

thirdstreettito · 02-19-2009, 12:33 PM

There was a company starting to repop full cabs. I hope they wont want $9K!

**LEEVON** · 02-19-2009, 01:48 PM

Big Green, that sounds like a nice yard. Griffin, I'd be willing to make the trip down there too if you want to make a road trip out of it. I have a 20' car hauler if you need to pick something up.

ChevLoRay · 02-19-2009, 02:12 PM

I sent you a P.M. Here's why....

mbgmike · 02-19-2009, 08:51 PM

I would buy it in a heartbeat

*67/72junkie* · 02-19-2009, 09:05 PM

I have seen rust free bare cab and doors sell for $1500 in NC.I have a 72 bb cheyenne cab dissasembled to rebuild one of my short beds with and I have turned down $1200 for the bare cab .It is a rust free AZ cab and I have a 72 shortbed bigblock that I am planning to put it on so it may be worth more to me than someone else .You can spend alot of cash just rebuilding a cab and it is still patched.

That's what's crazy. Cab and doors sell for that much, and I probably couldn't sell my running 67 CST 3/4T LWB for $3000 and it ONLY has rust in the passenger's side outer rocker! Crazy world.......

Skirkpat · 02-19-2009, 10:26 PM

I have noticed that these old trucks seem to be worth more in pieces, Breaks my heart, but everything in life is cyclical, after they have all been parted, the cream will be worth keeping, and prices should reflect that.

Ouch Man, I will never complain about rust in our trucks again.

msgross · 02-19-2009, 11:16 PM

be careful that it's actually a 10-20-30 cab not a 40-50-60 cab. I think they look similar but have major differences... I could see one of those sitting around from some conversion truck shop or something...

gotta do this now

msgross · 02-19-2009, 11:43 PM

I know it's more than the front door corners... never tried it though, only read it

truckpoorpackrat · 02-20-2009, 01:58 AM

Would you tell us what the name of that salvage yard is if you don't plan on buying it. PLEASE

71tahoe · 02-20-2009, 10:30 AM

Yeah, I'd think about making the 8 hour round trip for that price.
