Scrapping a Cab
I think I am about ready to scrap the cab that came on my parts truck. I don't have a trailer available and was contemplating just taking a sawzall to the cab so i could fit it in my wife's small truck.
There is plenty of rust and other issues, so I doubt it is worth saving, and it hasn't gotten any solid hits since I listed it. Is there any part I should be looking to save for another builder restorer?

Re: Scrapping a Cab
If some of the sections are still good like the roof you might throw it on Craigslist for a low figure and hope someone bites. But then you have to fool with that too.
But sometimes you just have to get the sawzall or axe out and cut them up and haul them off. |

Re: Scrapping a Cab
Are there doors or is it just a bare cab shell?

I'm with them. Surely someone will buy that.

Re: Scrapping a Cab
I put it up on our classsifieds last night. Maybe I'll get a hit there. Craigslist was useless. I'll give her a few more weeks before destroying the cab.

Re: Scrapping a Cab
if you can sell that is good for you
but if stuck and finally tired and you need to get rid of it i've found the sawzall is best remove all glass and doors wack off the roof and cut accross the middle of the floorboard for three easily manageable pieces to dispose of you can also try running a craigs ad givin it away for free . i've found theres always somebody willin to take stuff free

Re: Scrapping a Cab
What does the roof look like right above the pass door? If not rusted too bad I would be interested in that piece if you cut it up. Didn't see a good shot of it in your pics. Post me a pic of that section and I can show you what I need.
Thanks, Reno
