Just rivit it on the new cab. The DMV shouldn't give you a hard time. It's been done many times before.

Each state is a little different on how they do things with vin numbers. In idaho you have to leave both vin tags intact have both inspected and they will assign
a new number for you. Some call it a rebuild vin #..Vernski

I found a Junkyard that will sell a cab top for 300.00. I could get the whole cab, but it is sitting on the ground and the bottom is full of rot. The owner stated that he would cut the pillars at any point between the dash and roof. I have mig welded patch panels but I have never replaced a whole top section. I know I need to treat it like chopping a top, without making the cab shorter. Are there any tips or pointers to a thread that will help me through this part of the project.

KANEERARCHERY

Are you still in contact with that junkyard you were talking about in Oct. 17 '14?
I'd like to know if he has any more roof sections available, and $.

I ended up buying a cab from a private owner on President's day 2 weeks ago. 300.00 for the whole cab. 800 mile round trip in one day. Cab corners and rockers are bad. Large hump cab. Steering column does not have gear shift. Vin number is a 3/4 ton. Transmission hump has removable plate with floor shift hole.

kaneerarchery,

If you scored a complete cab for your truck, whatcha' gonna do with your old cab?
Would you consider sending the section that I want to use my way?

My cab is full of rust inside and out because of the rusted out area next to the drip rails. If you look at the photos at the start of this post you can see why I was looking for another cab. When I take the cab off I will post photos but it may be the summer before I am able to get it done. Randy Kaneer
