Any rust free cabs out there? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

hgs_notes · 01-20-2005, 11:23 PM

I'm in Minnesota and am wondering if it would be easier to just replace my cab rather than try to fix the screw ups from the last "body man". The floor is messed up, the rockers are crooked, and it was a little out of shape on the door openings (tight on top front, wide on the back), Anyway, there is no such thing as rust free up here. I would like to find out whats available, for how much and then figure out how much it would cost to get it here.

I'm not in a huge hurry, but I gotta start sometime.

Rust free cabs are usually connected to nice frames and beds!

I think a month or so ago Zoomy had a nice a/c cab

I just looked at Zoomy's cab when I was there to pick up some other parts he hauled back for me, I was there on the 17th...that is one nice cab, if your seriously looking, your not going to find one better in the upper midwestern rust belt. IMO Gord

There is a place in Fairfax Iowa that brings in cabs and body parts from Texas, you might want to try and look them up.

I checked the web site for Rust Free Parts in Iowa, they didn't list any 67-72 cabs, but I emailed an inquiry. The price I thought was steep, like 1350.00 for a cab. I can buy a rust free california truck down the road from me for $1100.00. Someone said the firewall was rusted on thatone, I'll have to check that out, because the rest of it was damn good. A small dent on a wheel well on the bed. No bed floor, but otherwise intact.

I have a rust free cab from Arizona $ 900.00 cash I am in Omaha Ne. call 402-731-2812 thank you

I have a cab that needs rockers and pass floor pan has some rust, mounts are good.

hgs_notes · 01-23-2005, 11:10 PM

Teeitup, thanks but no. Thats kind of what I have now. Mine could be fixed, but not by me and the cost of a cab would probably be close to the body shop repair bill, though I haven't checked yet. I better do that.

I understand, around here to get rockers and corners installed its $500

I have a pretty nice 68 cab. The rockers and cab corners have been replaced. There is a dent in the back behind the bed that isn't too bad. It is not perfect but it is pretty nice.
I also have a 67 small window that is fairly solid but if I were going to use it I would replace some metal. It also has a sunroof
