Welcome from the west coast. I thought I was old as dirt too!!! LOL!!!
57 cab on 73-87 chassis eh!! Depends on what box you use. Cab fits but chassis kicks up behind cab and hard to fit the box unless you do some handy mods. I built one years ago but grafted the two frames together under the firewall. The frame dimensions are the same.
Oh ya! Where's the pics of your rides.

Welcome from the left coast.

I'd say that with that list of vehicles you qualify as a bona fide gearhead.......you're gonna fit right in!

You probable already know it, so I'll just repeat it. We love pictures; or:

Hi Brian. Welcome from SE Michigan (Troy/Warren area).

I make it up your way a couple times a year: I consider the Mid Michigan Motorplex to be my "home" track.
