Re: New cab , yeah?
I trust your judgement because I've seen Rose so I think you know a thing or two about these trucks so if you say the cab is good then it's good. I will buy it but I'm gonna need a little bit of time to come up with the money. Are you actively trying to sell it or do I have some time?? I'll put down a deposit if need be.

Save the window from your cab, might want to swap it in at some point

SWEET!
Great looking cab! Now you need to put a 67 clip on your truck

Re: New cab , yeah?
So whats the best way to preserve this thing? Take all the surface rust down to bare metal? What about the places I can't reach like deep in the gutters?

Re: New cab , yeah?
I would try to weld it up first. If it just wants to melt back then cut and put a small patch.

Re: New cab , yeah?
That's way easier to tackle. Given the amount of holes for a small area, small patch. Steal that curve from a good spot on your other cab!

Re: New cab , yeah?
I see there's a small one out by itself. That one I would drill out slightly larger so you can see clean metal all around the edge and weld it up.
I fixed the areas around my back window that way:

Re: New cab , yeah?
Or you can make a template of the hole in your current cab and just cut it on the new cab and weld the old hole up (it's been a long time, I can't remember if it was relocated, or in the same spot and just larger, or both...)
I personally prefer the 69-72 wire harness as they have more fuses/pins. The 67/68 harness sucks. Or you can go with the american autowire classic update kit (awesome kit), but it's like $500. I has a lot more fuses and accessories and you just enlarge the factory hole to install it.

Re: New cab , yeah?
It was pretty thin in this area, I can see theres a bit of rust inside there and it makes me wonder how many other thin spots are waiting to pop up. I'm just going to do a roof skin replacement. Seems pretty straightforward.

Re: New cab , yeah?
Better to be safe than sorry, study it and take your time, you could even take the skin off your old cab for practice that way if you mess up its on a junk cab not the good one.

Re: New cab , yeah?
should be spot welded but I have never taken one off so wouldn't say for sure. I am sure someone here will chime in on it.

Re: New cab , yeah?
Yeah I cut around the perimeter and with an air chisel I can shave the welds of the drip rails. I don't think I'll use the chisel on the new cab though. The bag edge seems a little more tricky though.

Re: New cab , yeah?
Mine is missing some metal here but my question is, why is it a joint to begin with? Is it meant to flex? I just don't want to patch it up incorrectly if its meant to be a point of flex or something. If its confusing anybody , this is the windshield frame on the bottom towards the passenger side corner.

Re: New cab , yeah?
The cab is formed from a crap load of pieces jigged up and spot welded together. It was an area where multiple pieces came together and GM just used seam sealer to close up the holes.
