just a guess, but i would say you have two parts truck cabs, you may be able to get a rebuild title . depends on your state d.m.v. .

There is no way to tell. The VIN-plate is the "only" I.D. between one cab and the rest. If they are stolen,you are guilty of receiving stolen goods. You should have been concerned before you bought them. I wouldn't worry since there now is no way to determine these from any others. How do we know we aren't buying stolen doors,fenders,seats,steering wheels,mirrors.......? As mentioned,you just have a couple huge used parts.

i was told that the cabs are from two grain trucks that were stripped about 20+ years ago they ve been sitting in a barn since the guy doesn t remember why the vin plates were removed

Around here all the grain trucks are medium duty or heavy duty trucks,which have different cabs. Do you have light truck cabs (C10-C30) or medium duty?

demon79 · 09-02-2013, 03:01 PM

i believe they are medium duty the 64-66 cab still has the running boards but the front clips were removed when the cabs were removed from the frames i will try to get pics of the cabs when i go back out to pick them up

As long as the 64-66 isn't a LCF the cab will work on a pickup...I believe. But,the 67-72 won't. They share enough pieces to look like a pickup cab,but the floor,cowl area is completely different. They were designed to have a short nose to back of cab dimension,so the fenders cut into the cab/doors and the engine sits back into the firewall. The front fenders and hood mount completely differently
