Price Check on Cab - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

72 cheyenne pdx · 07-08-2010, 04:16 PM

Hello all you Handsome/Beautiful Chevy Lovers,

I have been working on my Truck (mostly on the drive train) now off and on for about 3 years. Well last week, my Beautiful Wife of 14 years has given me the green light to get the bodywork going. I called and talked to a guy that afternoon and brought over the truck for him to look at. Right off the bat when looking at the truck's inner roof, he told me my best option was to replace the cab. I assumed this when I inherited the truck from the threads I've read on here. He quote me between $300-500 for a new cab, plus $400 to take off old cab and install new cab. If new cab needs rockers and cab corners, $225.00 per side. So I am looking at worst case scenerio from his quote $1500.00. Does this seem like a good price? I've looked at his other on going projects and it seems like he does quality work. I've also asked him to keep an eye out for an AC cab. I might as well get an option that the truck didn't come with originally.

Check your local Craigs List, and this forum for sales on a cab.

be careful asking for Prices....the Staff here will delete your thread for asking ,,,They want your $25 for selling, Buying, asking prices,...you name it they will delete.
Just a warning from my Personal Exsperence...

You are sort of right. The Subscription fee keeps this board the BEST resource page for these trucks. And allows you to list items for sale, post Wanted to Buy ads.
And keeps scammers from selling here. As they will never pay the $25.00

If you choose to look for a cab you must become a Subscriber first.

However, if you search your local Craigslist you should have no trouble finding what you need.
