IL WTB Solid cab in my area - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

starfire58 · 12-04-2012, 05:54 PM

Anyone in my area with a solid cab to sell? I'm in central Illinois and have a trailer so pick-up would not be a problem. I've seen a lot of cabs available on this site but all were too far away. Iowa,Wisconsin,Indiana,Illinois all ok. I just can't afford to ship one in from far away and I can't take a really long road trip right now because of work. Thanks! Bob

Cab can be with doors or without, A/C or non-A/C.,Preferably a small hump. I am looking for doors too. All for a '71. Thanks. Figured it was worth a shot to post this.

did you see the Neb. thread by 408impala1? its too far for me but not very bad for you

**70STOVEBOLT** · 12-04-2012, 08:42 PM

What do you call a solid cab? One that needs the usual replacement panels?

Preferably rust free, but I don't mind if it only needs rockers/cab corners. Solid,original cab supports a must. rust free firewall and floors,please. Definitely solid drip rails and inner headliner. I have a rusty cab that needs everything above except drip rails and headliner area are solid. I just prefer a nicer orig. cab. I know it sounds like I'm nitpicking but It's what I want. Thanks. Bob

nobolt- That's a farther trip than I can take right now. Thank you for the info though. I'm really hoping to find something closer. Thanks! Bob

You might want to hit up board member Fine69, as he is located in Ohio and has dragged back several low-to-no rust cabs, doors, and other sheet metal from Arizona and California.

How far is too far? 300 miles? I know of one near me that had rockers n cab corners done but believe it still needed work on the floor pan that had been chemically dipped 3 X's n treated i could inquire about further for you. It was a stripped cab for the dipping process. I don't know what he was asking for it. So no doors. Let me know I can check and get pics n more info.

leddzepp-thanks for the info!
Sammy- I'd be happy to take a look, thanks!

Bluechevy68- As much as I would like to have another one, my wife would tell you I definitely don't need another whole truck !!! LOL I'm lucky she puts up with the projects I do have,I guess.

Bump... Anybody in my area with a nice cab for sale. Or, anybody in my area travel south or west to bring parts back from the land of no rust???

toyplumbertrucks · 12-06-2012, 06:18 PM

[I] have one in Northwest Indiana. It has real clean floor and windshield, one rocker has a hole and such. It has a rust spot on the drip rail above the passenger side door. It came from Nevda. I could email you pictures if you like.

toyplumbertrucks · 12-06-2012, 06:20 PM
