Hi folks!

Does anyone know of reprod steel cabs?

I have found bits and pieces, but not a complete. I have rust in sooo many places!

Take care!

Dynacorn makes one. I believe you have to go through certain dealers to get it. check www.dynacorn.com

i just bought a parts truck that had a good cab for mine. it was $1200 and the rear fenders and bed are good also. although i am building a long bed, so i can't use the bed on this build. it will be used on the next one.

thanks for the reply,

but.... I couldn´t find the 57´cab on their site. Only up to 54´. Are you sure it´s there?

Welcome to the site.
I don't believe anyone is making a cab for the 55 to 59 trucks.
Most of these trucks have rust but can be repaired with a little skill and some patience.
Post some pics so we can see what you have and I'm sure you will get lots of ideas on what to do.

We are Dealers for Dynacorn and they do not make the cab. Only the 47-50 and 52-54.
They are supposed to be offered sometime in the near future according to DII. Expect to pay alot though. I have not seen any news on the status.

We are a DII dealer as well but not for Classic Bodies. I did see the one they made at the 07 sema show. So I do know its coming, I assumed it would be out now. I just heard its tied up in licensing aproval from GM but that may be old news.

usbody.com makes a complete fiberglass body but i dont think there is a steel one on the market yet.

Hi,

Thanks for all the input.

I do have a good bit of rust in the cab. Such as the better part of the floor is missing including lower part of the firewall, also the bottom part where the door hinge is fixed to the body. But the worst is in the ceiling around the windshield, all the way down to the glass and that´s the bit that worries me. All the rest is doable. But it takes a lot of skill/time/effort to make that right. If I could get that piece I´d be allright. But a whole cab would save me a lot of time.

I´ll try to get some pictures and you´ll see.

Take care
