Rusty cab Keep it or trash it? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ok so this is WELL beyond my capabilities of fixing...maybe... Take a look at my cab and let me know what you think. Keep it or scrap it. I guess I could sell it too. Inner and outer rockers are gone, cab corners are toast. Most of the floor supports are shot too. Anyway thoughts?

C3pilot · 05-07-2018, 04:39 PM

Can someone tell me how to stop the pics from rotating when I upload them? Driving me crazy.

If you're using a mobile device to upload, it depends on how you take the photo. Experiment with it but generally the button or bottom should be on the right I think or on the bottom.

If you use a PC or laptop, open the image in a viewer and orient it the way you want then click the File menu at the top and click Save ( or otherwise save it in place or over-write the existing file ).

Then upload it and it should be correct.

Hth,

I'd say you have your hands full with that one. Good luck.

I would donate that one to the metal gods...

I’ll give it a try!

C3pilot · 05-07-2018, 06:02 PM

Ya it’s been my intention to scrap it from the beginning. But now that it’s time to do it well...apparently my wife’s right I’m a hoarder! Just wanted to get a sanity check to make sure that I wasn’t making a bone head move by throwing it out. Like I said it’s well outside my wheel house to repair this thing.

Thx

I wouldn’t keep it. She served you well and it’s time to lay her to rest. Sawzall time.

I don't even think his dad could fix that, even with an awesome set of tools. I'd say Buh-Bye...

more to the point I think it has been sacrificed to the rust god's

**special-K** · 05-08-2018, 06:56 AM

Even the glass rusted out on that one

extd56 · 05-08-2018, 09:59 AM

That one is bad even by east coast standards

C3pilot · 05-08-2018, 12:29 PM

A moment of silence please... An offering to the rust gods so that you may look kindly on the frame!

C3pilot · 05-08-2018, 04:31 PM

9 pieces

Daves70 · 05-08-2018, 05:18 PM

Oh no! I would have fixed that. Lol.

No kidding, that's a beautiful cab, or at least was

Mollzyie · 05-08-2018, 07:28 PM

Coulda made lawn art out of it instead of just scrapping it .

70 shorty · 05-08-2018, 08:01 PM

Sadly, I bet you didn't get but about $10-$15 for it. Scrap steel doesn't pay much. I have to say, I thought my cab was bad, but that takes the cake!
