I've been looking around for a good cab, but basically all of them are going to need cab corners and rockers at the very least. Plus like 90% of them have a hole through the roof for an antenna. So, hey, if I could get a small back window repro cab, that would be awesome.  |

I called LMC they have a manufacturer that builds new cabs…all new metal with doors fitted and gapped…12 large plus freight
they had one in stock…I came close to ordering it…but I’m pretty deep in mine.
I’m not a body man by trade…but I can do welding and fab and have all the tools....
I just bought a spot welder and some copper rod for some extensions…a lot of my repairs will be 3M panel bonded and spot welded in place.
I also have a good body man/finisher/painter….took the bed to him today…he’s ready to get going…
I’m replacing the dash, the inner and outer roof skins, front header panel, both upper outer roof panels , drip rails, complete rear panel, inner and outer rockers both sides, lower A pillar both sides, and a few more pieces, this cab will be good for 50 more years…
stay tuned it’s about to get real....
upper windshield donor cuts….
