My Colorado Cab
Well I finally got my cab from Colorado (thanks to astevens and family for transporting it!) and I finally got it off the trailer (thanks to my neighbor and his boom truck!) It's a little worse than I thought but still very good for the price I paid for it. It will need a couple floor patches and new outer rockers but it's more in my range of being able to fix it than my original cab. All in all I'm very happy with it.

Re: My Colorado Cab
The doors have a couple fixable dents in them but they are very solid and the door panels are perfect.
  The cab mounts are mostly good too but I couldn't get pics of them just yet.

Re: My Colorado Cab
Your new cab is a big improvement!
 In the long term you will be very glad you switched cabs.

Re: My Colorado Cab
I know, and for the price I couldn't beat it. Now I just gotta start buying parts and fixing the little rust areas before I change them out.

Re: My Colorado Cab
Congrats, that's a fairly dry cab by Colorado standards.
