Scored some parts today, 2 68 cabs and more - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

A guy I bought a fender from still had 2 68 cabs, 5 doors, a step side bed, hood, and frame told me last year if I hauled it all away I could have it for $100, called him up and said I want it, he says, Oh, I meant $100 without the frame, with the frame is $150. no big deal, worth that, so went over there today with a sawzall and cut both cabs into 3 pieces, loaded up into my truck and hauled 2 loads to a buddy's place to strip the good parts. Still need to get the frame, shortbed, and hood, will have a bunch of stuff for sale soon. Fun afternoon, cut each cab into 3 pieces, need a cord for my phone cam or would have pics.

They were rust buckets, the floors were totally gone, inside of inner roofs on both rusted away, one did have good rear supports, which I will salvage along with one good cab corner. Will get pics today, kind of a pile now LOL.
