Anyone reproducing 67-72 Cabs?

Has anyone tried one of these cabs yet?

There are several companies reproducing the 67-72 cabs.

One is Adept Classic Bodies in Dallas.

Mr. C10 is another.

There is another out in Arizona, but I cannot remember the name.

I have heard good things about these cabs, but yes, they are pricey.

I would buy the cab and the doors. That way your doors will fit the cab without any rework.

Yes, they are expensive, but if your cab is totally gone, like mine was, then it is an option. I was lucky 8 years ago and found a really nice cab for an incredibly low price. That was a fluke.

I have a close friend who does metal work...only metal work. He does not do body work, or paint, but he does things the right way without cutting any corners. He sees a lot of really rusted out cabs, and people are amazed what it costs to rebuild.

I can tell you that is some cases this is a cheaper, and quicker, way to go if you cannot do the work yourself.

Buy a replacement body and you have to call DMV in your state to register it and have them apply a new vin tag . So for all your money you have a clone with a 2021 vin tag . Don't talk about swapping tags it's illegal and not allowed in here .

I have toyed with the idea due to my work situation. I have to drive a 6 year old or newer car with less than 125k on the clock as an original msrp of over 30k. They will let the mileage run over but not the age of the vehicle. I could build one with an LS or 3.6 have it titled as a 2021 and still look to be driving an old truck. Let the company pay me my .50+ cents per mile back sand sell it at the end of 6 years and come out way ahead. New trucks no longer make sense to buy and drive the miles I do.
