free score, saved this frame/cabs life.(kinda)
good day all,
i thought i would show off a free score, i saw this cab out front of a local junkyard, so i slammed on the drums to investigate..  .. not a bit of rust still on frame but unbolted.... i was then startled by a rather large human being, kindly asking me to move, so he could load this stuff... i asked him "can i have this cab?". he said you load it yourself and its yours. since it was un bolted i had my brother who was with me, to help me load it.. we successfully got the cab lashed down to my 71 datsun 521pickup... (yeah it bearly fit but did, and looked really stupid)... and the large individual who blessed me with this gift, asked me before i left, "hey you want the frame too?".. i asked if i could come back tomarrow and get it he said it was ok.. so for the price of free+gas money.. i got a cab/frame from a 70' c-10 longbed it had a/c, p/s, p/b, no doors, no dash, no seat. you know.  .. but was rust free and a 396bb stock, no motor. but had the big block mounts and saved it from the smasher .... .. the BAD thing is i have nothing to do with it, my old lady is not mad but not too happy, oh well... good sign i need to build another one ok ok enough talk pics for you guys now.. havent cleaned it yet..

Re: free score, saved this frame/cabs life.(kinda)
A pretty well rust free cab with a title, that sounds like a great deal to me. A few more pieces or a parts doner truck and you are in business.
