if I go to the yards soon I will let you know if I see anything. Do you still have the same cell # I one with a 408 area code. I can send you a text if I see anything, maybe even with a pic attached...

at least sell it if you arent going to use the parts, I know more guys with 3 or 4 "started" projects that will never get done than I can count.

5 trucks gave up their parts for mine and only one is still around. I thought a long time about not chopping up the nice driver 65 BBW longbed that eventually donated the cab to mine, but in the end it was the right decision. I dont know if an old longbed chevy will ever compare to some of the volkwagen prices but I guess who knows. they made a lot of dodge neons too and I dont see them being hyper collectable in 40 years. what I do know is they made a LOT of these trucks and even almost perfect ones arent really worth a ton.

no offense intended to the purists out there.

Let me take a closer look at my 2 parts cabs. I have a '61 and a '63 cab. Do you need the center piece above the windshield all the way from left joint to the right joint?

To be honest, I'm not really sure. I've been getting home late to even see out there. I do know, that they used alot of that silver tape, and primered over it...as you see in the pic. In fact, it does go along the whole front.

So I would have to say, a definate mabey !!

Thanks for checking, really helps out !!

Man I need a hood so bad, why are they all in Cali.

Today I got a chance to check out my parts cabs. As it turns out, the center piece above the windshield is not as good as I thought it was. However the A-pillars appear to be in good condition. Didn't get a chance to look for cowl extensions yet.

**aerotruk63** · 07-22-2012, 07:21 AM

Center piece is $39 at Top Banana.

**Captainfab** · 07-22-2012, 11:28 PM

Huh, for some reason I was thinking they were closer to $100.00.
