Swapping out Cabs

Several posts back I documented the rusts repairs to my 68' cab. I completed most of the passenger side and still had the driver side and firewall to repair. At that time I chose to focus on the suspension and engine work. As I prepared to startup work on the cab, I came across a rust free 70' cab for sale in Waco which is 1 1/2hrs north of Austin. The cab was being offered with the doors and a very nice cab dolley. I knew getting that cab would save me tons of time so I contacted the owner and made a deal. It would be a couple days before I could leave to pick it up. In the meantime I sold my current cab to my friend Calvin. He also took my original long bed. The sale made purchasing the new cab a no-brainer!

Cab corner had been replaced. Nicely done.
