SC Looking for RUST-FREE cabs, ANYWHERE - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

TobyArnot · 11-16-2011, 09:13 AM

O.K. I know this is nearly impossible. I would like to locate two or three RUST-FREE cabs. I know that they are out there somewhere. Maybe out west in the hi-country desert, somebodies old bone-yard, etc.!!!

I'm planning a trip to SoCal early next year and I can make arrangements to p/u and haul them back east. I might be willing to pay a "finder's fee" for help locating said bodies.

So now the cross country trip to Cali will be in a 40 year old truck pulling a car trailer? You sir are my hero lol.

Hey Fred,
.
I'm no body's hero!! Just a little crazy after all these years
Well, old age does make one do strange things. Actually. I'm planning a cross-country in a 40 year old truck pulling a "ultra-lite" travel trailer. The "Trek-in-the-Truck" is my "retirement reward" for myself. I lived in SoCal for several years and I'm going to visit old friends and attend the "Bakersfield March Meet" nostalgis drags
.
The trip to salvage bodies would be a separate deal. I would rent a box truck to haul bodies back east. This is a stand-alone enterprise.

I been searching for a trucking company running out west and coming back partially empty that could handle some cabs, but a couple guys I talk to run loaded both ways. It really bites.

.
I heard you. That's one reason this retired old dog is looking to make the trip himself.

I have a complete 72 AC truck here in KS

You guys out there on the west coast could make a killing servicing us folks on the east coast with nice rust free cabs. I am in need of one myself.

PT

no moa · 11-16-2011, 01:32 PM

Hey randy, I'll take the seat cover if you sell the cab. I need a blue and white houndstooth. :-)

If I have a big enough trailer I'd take a month off in jan or feb and cruise out there as buy a bunch, but I'd have to spend 5 k on a dang trailer. Lol

I have a 71 GMC (very solid cab) and a 71 motorhome cab that I am thinking of parting, also very solid, if someone is up to the challenge of turning the back of motorhome cab into a truck cab. Name: IMG_2616.JPG

Glen, I'm not parting mine trying to sell whole truck, sorry. Thanks Randy

Sorry randy, I was under the assumption you were selling just the cab, good choice to keep it together. Nice truck!

NO PROBLEM/NO HIJACK - I'm starting to put together a plan. I will contact several of the SoCal board members before leaving SC. I have a connection in San Clemente, and am working out some details. This may take some time to put together, but I'm definitely working on it.
.

Any and all suggestions are welcome!
.
KEEP IN TOUCH!
.
I gather I'm not the only East Coaster in need of rust-free sheet metal for our trucks ? ? ?
