Should I trash old cab or not??????????????
The original cab from my 68 is sitting in my shop taking up much needed space and I need help deciding to scrap it or not.
I started out with the intention of repairing the rust in the cab but I was able to find a rust free cab. I replaced the drives side floor, left rocker is removed, left corner was replaced, some firewall stuff on the left was also replaced. It still needs the left rocker installed, the right rocker replaced, right corner, right floor, and some other firewall places replaced. The roof, dash, a-pillars, rear window are all in good shape. My question is, should I haul it away to the scrap yard or do I try to sell this thing? I spent about $200 to have it media blasted and the cost of the floor, left corner and some other parts I bought. I hate to think I had a part crushed that someone can use BUT I need the space. What do I do?????????? Last edited by fastom; 08-25-2007 at 07:29 PM. |

Sell it, even at a loss, it's prob more than you'll get in scrap and you'll help somebody else out!

Re: Should I trash old cab or not??????????????
There`s plenty of rusted cabs in CA,just not as many as back here.We`re talkin`about on right now.I`d give it a shot and offer it cheap.With all the cabs hauled out of state I`m sure there`s some frames that could use a cab for a ground-up.One thing about out there...you fix a cab and you won`t be worrying about rust coming back nearly like we do back east.Could you find a rolling frame to set it on and sell?Idea:Show us some pictures of what it needs.I know you Californians tend to sweat the small stuff when it come to rust(spoiled brats!).
