Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
I got a day off work and could not wait on the snow to melt so I pulled the donor around to the front of the shop.

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
Started looking for all the rust. I have 2 cabs and both have rust in different places so I am trying to decide which cab to use for the build.

If one has structural rust to pillars, or floor braces and the other is more or less just sheet metal, I would go with the sheet metal.
Just a couple cents worth of opinion man....

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
Thanks for the two cents. I need lots of that. I will post pics tomorrow of both of the cabs and their rust. You guys can take a look at them and tell me what you think.

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
Best take a metal rod to poke with too.... better to find bad rust that way, than when your wire wheeling grinder jumps out of your hands and disappers into a hole it just made in a rust pocket.....

Not that I have any experience with that mind you.... and not that I would squeal like a little girl if it did happen to me..... but if it did....

Well, you get the picture

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
Decisions, Decisions…
I would evaluate the structural integrity of them both and go for the best…

Looks like the Cab corners from the red one could be donors for the damage on the blue one...

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
I have just been going back and forth. I think either one would work it's just going to be a lot of work. I am going to look at another cab in the morning. It's a BBW to. Thanks for your input.

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
Drooled over that one but finances wouldn't allow, not to mention my wife would've been kicking me outside with the dog...

Thought I'd help you out and re-post this for ya...

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
Thanks. I sent that one from the phone and I guess I had it turned when I posted it. I still have not figured out how to edit pic after I post. I am hoping the cab looks as good when I start removing it.

Ok I got a day off from work and it is nice day. I had a friend come over and help me take the cab off the new donor.
