Cab swap anyone???
Short version...
I got grandpa's '69 chevy back in 1990 or so. Decided to do something with it in 2004. Found that the cab had it's share of rust due to 30 yrs of gravel-road living, cab-lights, etc....so rather than replace almost every panel in the original cab, I sought out a local cab. All I could find was a '67 small window. Got it stripped, found a 3" spot of rust in the kick-panel (cut out and replaced), primed, sealed, and mounted that thing on the truck. Now I HATE it. I can not get used to having a small back window. And I get questions about it from those who actually KNOW what it goes on. So, I am seeking a BIG window cab in descent shape for trade. Here are some specs on my '67 cab. -Floor and firewall covered in Dynamat Extreme (thanks Subtle71) -Non-A/C dash removed and replaced with A/C dash (cut under dash pad) -Gas tank removed and patch welded into the hole -to my knowledge, there is ZERO rust -only needs a small amount of body work on the back wall to repair a couple of dents (I will get pics of that) -radio opening is NOT hacked up -set up to accept rod or cable style accelerator (currently cable in use) Anyone have a descent BIG back window cab they wanna trade for it? Below are some pics I have of it. It is mounted on my daily driver, so if we make a deal, I will have to pull the interior first. **DOORS NOT INCLUDED**(sorry, they are original to grandpa's truck) I offered this to a local (Mississippi Gulf Coast) board member, but have not heard back from him about it, so I am now posting it up on the board. Summer is coming and I am itching to start switchin'. 1st pic - That white stripe is seam sealer 5th pic - Before carpet, but with dash, gauges, etc... installed If you are interested in this, please send me a PM, or an e-mail putterscustomconcepts@yahoo.com
