What are you guys paying for a rust free west coast cab?

[Jkmyers84]

Been lurking for a long time and have been reading up and gathering info and thinking of biting the bullet and buying a 71 or 72 swb. I have looked at a ton of cl ads and everything seems to have far too much rust around here. What are you guys paying for those rust free Cali cabs and has anyone dealt with shipping?

iv lived in cali 40 years and iv heard of people scoring on a rust free cabs but i havent seen one in person..it does rain out here..i found a A/c cab a couple years back for like $700 and all it needed was one cab support and one rocker..unless u stripped cab to bare metal you wont no exactly what you are dealing with..

Not Cali but southern Utah

My truck has been in this area its whole life and it is virtually rust free.

I have seen on here recently rust free cabs for less than a grand but that whole truck for a grand is a deal! Around here in Semo cabs seems plentiful for around 200-500 but all need extensive work seems like.

If you want to figure a way to get the truck out to you I can call the guy might be able to get him to hold it. I saw a truck a few weeks ago in better condition for that for $500 without a motor/tranny. It was gone within a day though. I was going to get it as it was only 25 minutes away from me, that one is about an 1:10 away.

I paid $1250 for one that was brought out from ca. Did i overpay? Oh, it was part of a running 70 longhorn with a 400/400 withfactory ac.

Thanks for the input going to continue to look for a good cab or a nice swb roller not ate up with rust.

Can usually buy a complete truck for $1000 and there's a ton of rust free trucks all over the US. I sell rust free cabs up here in Canada for around $800 usually when I do find them. More rare up here lol

I would love to have a complete swb truck for around 1k. Those are pretty rare around these parts on online listings anyways. Guess my best bet is to hit southern Tn and alabama and knock on a few doors.

Here is the one that I got in Phoenix. Spent its entire life in the area and I picked it up for 200 bucks cash. I just happened to be in the area with my Powerstroke and a big enclosed trailer so didn't cost me anything for delivery. Doesn't need a single bit of rust repair ANYWHERE. All original paint and yes it does have a bit of surface rust but nothing structural at all. More pictures on my thread but I am on my phone and this is all I have on here.

Better picture. The guy threw in a excellent condition core support "to sweeten the deal" (as if it needed it)

think you're better off with one still on a chassis...easier to push it onto a trailer and be able to move it around once its home,then figure out how to ship it without damage
