Got a great cab today! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Thanks for everyone who replied to my cab wanted ad. I got this great 98% rust free cab from Fine69 (Mike) today. It was well worth the 3 hour drive up, all the wrecks we saw from people who can't drive in a light snow shower, the two wrecks we were almost involved in due to people stopping on the over passes and 7 miles per gallon in my 2000 Crew cab 454!

It was also nice to see the rare 3 door that Mike got back.

Looks like you did alright this weekend... nice score!

So where's the 2% rust?

**fine69** · 12-06-2008, 11:45 PM

Hey Dan. It was great to meet you guys.

Its great to know that there are great members like you two.

I told you that you would be happy with the cab.

Glad you got home safe too. Roads are so crappy here its not funny.

ChevyFan24 · 12-07-2008, 12:02 AM

Mike I think the cab was going into shock as it had may not have seen snow before. lol

We got it backed into the barn to stay dry until I can get it in my garage.

ChevyFan24 · 12-07-2008, 12:05 AM

72BlckButy- you really have to look hard to see it. Compared to the cab in my garage with the entire cab floor cut out I would call it 110% rust free.

TwoFiftyShifter · 12-07-2008, 12:05 AM

What did you get the cab for?

Longhorn Man · 12-07-2008, 01:20 AM

I've seen that cab before... it IS a nice one.

70cstjr · 12-07-2008, 01:46 AM

im glad you made it on the roads, i drove from my home to ridgeville indiana to pick up seats for a fellow member, and the roads sucked..i know there is a salt shortage, but come on there are other things than salt that can be used on the road..anyways nice cab

Longhorn Man · 12-07-2008, 01:50 AM

it aint a salt shortage... its a funding shortage.

what do i know lol..the way they make it seem, is that they just cant get it, but i can see were they dont have money..all these companys go belly up, taxes go belly up to buy stuff as well

thirdstreettito · 12-07-2008, 01:56 AM

Hey, who feels like sending me one like that for free? C'mon you know you need to...

Nice score.

Spray-Bomb · 12-07-2008, 01:58 AM

All I gotta say is, I hope you are exaggerating on the 7 MPG, cuz my moms truck is a 98 GMC crew cab long bed 1T truck with a 454 & doesnt get that bad !!!

Nice cab, more pics

Longhorn Man · 12-07-2008, 11:11 AM

they've been tallkin on the radio here about it. Heck, the state laid off a whole bunch of the drivers that spread the salt and brine. The saltmtn here in town is possibly bigger than I've ever seen it.
On the radio they've been talking about how the state didn't get nearly as much in fuel tax money since no one was driving due to the high fuel prices.

Longhorn Man · 12-07-2008, 02:54 PM

it was from inside the cab, on with my cell phone... so it kinda sucks... no... it REALLY sucks. Plus the immage is only about 2 inches by 2 inches even when put on the computer.
But here's a crappy cell phone pic of the nasty cancer stuff oll over my beater though...

ChevyFan24 · 12-07-2008, 10:43 PM

Longhorn Man - I figured you had seen that cab. Mike and I talked about your upcoming trip. Sounds like a blast. I just enjoyed the day trip to get the cab from Mike.

Spray-Bomb - Unfortunately I am not kidding. It was 7.1 to 7.5 that was checked on three tanks. I would hate to see what it was if the roads were dry and I could have kept the hammer down.

I knew it was due for a tune up but wow!
