Re: New from central Michigan
Welcome from the west coast. I thought I was old as dirt too!!! LOL!!!
57 cab on 73-87 chassis eh!! Depends on what box you use. Cab fits but chassis kicks up behind cab and hard to fit the box unless you do some handy mods. I built one years ago but grafted the two frames together under the firewall. The frame dimensions are the same. Oh ya! Where's the pics of your rides. |

Welcome from the left coast.
I'd say that with that list of vehicles you qualify as a bona fide gearhead.......you're gonna fit right in! You probable already know it, so I'll just repeat it. We love pictures; or:
