Re: Floor question

I could see doing this with a good, clean cab that had major roof damage (tree falling on it or so), but not with a whole good cab. Thats a whole bunch of needless cutting and welding and heat warp that could be avoided. Plus, to do it properly, both cabs would have to be stripped entirely, and placed on a stand.

My cab on the 83 had the potetial to be rebuilt with the typical floor panels/supports etc and a little more. However, after inspection, I found that the window frames were rotting from the inside. The amount of holes and such to repair on the top half of the cab make it to much to repair and keep water tight.
