OK WTB Factory a/c cab - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

cwbyfil · 01-25-2012, 12:21 PM

I am needing a good factory a/c cab to replace my severely rusted one on my 69 Chevy.

Or a good metal/body guy that can handle a big project that won't break my bank account!

cwbyfil · 01-25-2012, 12:27 PM

Here are a few more pics.

Im not in a huge hurry, I was Hoping to be ready for paint along time ago but focused to much time on chassis b 4 body!

I have complete rolling chassis ready now.

Do you do these type of projects?
What type of time would something like this take?

Thanks
Phil

I will keep an eye out for you one too Phil. I would loved to have found a nice cab too. Finally gave up and started repairing my own.
screaminchevypickup-Kyle can fix anything. I have seen his work it's really good.
BTW, welcome to the board!

I have a good 72 ac cab here in AZ, needs outer rockers the rest is solid $350 + shipping.
It had something welded to the inner rockers too, maybe a step & when taken off ripped the inner rockers on both sides, they would need patched or replaced also.
What you see on the bottom of the cab supports is mud not rust.

After getting all insulation removed from inside cab, found more rust issues under the dash. Holy crap!

More under dash pics

cwbyfil · 01-26-2012, 10:00 AM

Damn rust

cwbyfil · 01-26-2012, 10:13 AM

I have taken my frame down all the way to bare metal, bought the CPP 4/6 drop spindles/spring kit w/ 5 lug disc brake conversion, added the CPP rear trailing arms & sway bar, powder coated everything black or chevy orange, along with chroming a few choice items here & there and have it to a rolling chassis. This project has taken me 14 months & counting so far!
Here are a few pics.

Garage Freak · 01-26-2012, 11:08 AM

All I can say is Wow!

I love the red & black paint scheme.

Very nice work.

cwbyfil · 01-26-2012, 11:14 AM

Thanks garage freak, I appreciate it.

Its taken some time, but all will be worth it in the end!

no moa · 01-26-2012, 11:15 AM

holy! i got excited when i saw that

sgaylord · 01-26-2012, 11:41 AM

OMG, boy do those pictures look familiar. You didn't find any roofing tar did you? Just kidding, check my Jezebel pics and you will see why I asked.

mcbassin · 01-26-2012, 11:50 AM

Build thread????????

cwbyfil · 01-26-2012, 12:30 PM

sgaylord,

Didn't find any roofing tar, but found plenty of spray foam coated with undercoating bedlinder material.

cwbyfil · 01-26-2012, 12:31 PM

mcbassin,
No build thread yet, I just found this site & signed up when I started hunting for a cab or someone that could repair mine.
I will try & start one as time permits.

HeavyMetalChevy · 01-26-2012, 10:57 PM

FREAKIN SWEET BRO!!! I have a ZZ4 Hot cam setup in my all roller 350... But it sure does not look like yours!!!! lol I got to get back in the lab and do some work!!!!

cwbyfil · 01-26-2012, 11:47 PM

The thing I didn't like about the looks of the ZZ4 was the plain Jane center bolt valve covers it came on the engine and the limited amount of center bolt covers offered.
I did lots of searching and found a company that made these valve covers that have center bolt adapter plates under neath. They give it more the look of the GM572 that has the tall chevy orange valve covers on it. Then added an adapter spacer to raise carb a little & topped of with the massive K&N air cleaner & added ceramic coated headers.
