Brewski* · 02-09-2003, 11:24 PM

Does anyone know who to get ahold of to acquire one of these Rust Free A/C Cabs? I may be looking to remove and replace my cab do to some rust and other issues. Would like one with doors still intact My truck is a 1971 GMC 3/4 ton. Any help is much appreciated as I am trying to turn the RED ROCKET back into the BLACK BETTY she origionally was, and I want to do it as close to 100% as possible without rebuilding stuff with patches. Thanks for all your help

All I can do is wish you good luck. I have yet to see a rust free cab in my area......let alone a rust free A/C cab. Good luck.

I have a perfect 69 cab and doors with original paint in Independence, MO. No a/c. Not cheap

. PM me if you are interested. Thanks, Joe

You can find them. Just got to get out and start looking. Junk yards are just that.........junk. Look around small time garages, that maybe have an old wrecker or two there and some vehicles sitting around. I went to Okla to get one and after I got it home I ended up buying one right down the road from my house for 100 bucks that didnt have any rust. You may have to buy a whole truck.

My Burb was a rusty MN truck so I went all the way to TX to get a "rust free" body. I still replaced the rockers and some of the floor. It was much better than a MN truck but I don't think there is such a thing as "rust free".
