Re: New Aftermarket Cabs
One side effect of the availability - and high price - of repop cabs is that you might find yourself looking at your old cab a little differently. I have a cab that I used to think was beyond economical repair. Now it seems like it might be worth fixing. For every hundred dollar patch panel or 8 hour day I spend working on it I will feel like I'm saving money!

Re: New Aftermarket Cabs
I think they are a great idea, but I have never done one. According to the ads I've seen, the doors are supposed to be fitted better than factory. I would say the same about a 69 Camaro, or a Mustang that needs 2 quarters, a roof skin, and floor pan.
The VIN issue is frustrating for some states. In my mind, what's the difference between a new shell with a vin tag switch vs. a factory VIN tag with 1 square foot of original vehicle attached that has had every panel replaced? |
