Crazy how they're trying to find a MINT cab & looks like they're really tight ssa holes they won't pay up for a really good cab. I hate dealing with buyers like that. The funny thing is they're body men & will tell you that they can do all this type of work but they're just full of sht. Yeah 50 plus yr. old cabs wonder why they aren't in mint condition?
I know the large farm truck cab is the same but can't remember if the cab mounts are exactly the same but a lot of those are in better shape than the pick up cabs. Just something to consider.
The large trucks also had factory running boards due to how high they sat which also protected the rockers. I think you are correct that the cab mounts are different.
I have a c10 that came with leafsprings 1972 with a 402 396 bored original it came with disc brakes in front and ac but why does it have leaf springs only one I've seen like that it came from longhorn chevrolet still has the original long horn chevrolet decals on it
Very ambitious of you to be building a 55 yr old truck. I guess the one w/ the camper is the most complete even the bumper looks good. This is going to be a process you'll remember for a long time. These were all work vehicles, driven hard & put away when their lives were over. Best of luck,I'd do a Google search & try to find one still running for 10k.
Thanks Richard yes I know I’m a little nuts but hopeful in my journey to do a restoration so I can learn the ins and outs of doing one. Stay tuned more to come soon!
My 67 has the big back glass. 67 custom came both ways. Still have the build sheet in the glove box that says big back glass with the serial number to match
it looks like that was option to have it with the small window and only a limited number were made, but majority appears to still have the big back window! thank you for bringing this up!
Hey dude bro do you what you need it is going to be a Amazon Laser welder/cleaner cutter and then it helps you to get rid of the rust this 1972 Chevrolet c10 Cab roof and then that's all what you need.
Hola to you beautiful people I am glad that I watch your ch I am looking for a 72 short bed frame or. 70 thank you all I will try to find my way up there
Hi Rana .My buddy did the same with his 1950 f1 and cab was in same shape rotted,beat the owner did great with overboard with putty.Maybe cut out and beat the cab back to factory.Its all pricey unfortunately. Especially the past few years.
@@RanasRadar Hey thanks ! I have a one owner with 63k original miles and has been sitting in the edge of their yard since 1998. Body is straight and solid but for the rocker panels, they are mostly gone. Did you see any decent tailgates? I need one. Hey Thank for the speedy reply! My other project is a 49’ Packard Std 8 touring sedan .
I must be a lot better than I thought as you have one decent cab. I can't imagine how bad and someone not being able to recue it as to building another cab. You haven't really used any used parts. Always new so why now. Western Kansas has complete rust free cabs that will probably have some rodent damage but even so, you should be able to even get past that
Buying an old truck and fixing it up is the funnest thing to do for me … even tho i don’t have to i still fix up trucks .. its my hobby .. it might be a east Tn thing idk … i hope y’all enjoy it like i do !!!
@@RanasRadar your welcome .. btw the guy you have in the video giving you advice on your truck is spot on .. he is telling you right .. alot of ppl are not educated as much as they say they are on the subject .. most ppl learn from watching videos and repeat what they see on Tv .. i can tell he has ben in the business of bringing old trucks back to life again for a while now … if you listen to him your build should go as smooth as any other build without any major hickups
Thank you for the video , I’m building a 70 gmc swb myself I’ve found original pieces , it’s taken me 2 years though, but it was definitely cheaper lol
hey Robert, appreciate the feedback I have been looking at some from the midwest but Im also exploring on ways to save my cab! keep an eye out for the next video!
Time into the video 2:56. That cab isn't worth 10 cents. Even if it were to be used to move junk around a large property I'd walk away from that one. I doubt that roof will keep the water out. If it happens keep the water out today it won't be long before it stops doing that. That's ok because you'll be keeping a caulk-gun and an assortment of sealants in the cab to keep dust and water from coming in the floor, door bottoms, and rockers anyway. That roof looks like it'll end up looking like an Irish castle very soon.
@@RanasRadar i figured that out later in the video but didn’t kno how to edit or delete my comment Or even how to find it again. I chew gum like I am trying to abuse it but not w a microphone on. Also I’m curious (I just found your page last night) where are you from? The accent is thick (cute but thick).
Never heard of a C10 car. Came here to say that and gone click the do not recommend this channel. Can’t deal with people that don’t know a car from a truck.
Not sure what your saying perhaps the pronunciation may have lead to the misunderstanding, but this is just my journey in my first restoration of a 72 Chevy c10 , but thank you anyway for stopping by and giving the feedback hopefully you find what you’re looking for.

Definitely not looking for a mint condition cab, I hope you find the right buyers for yourself, and thank you for watching.
Can you send me the address of the junk yard and maybe contact information. Thanks
It’s in Kodak Tennessee and I’ll try to get an email for you, the owner is rather private.
I know the large farm truck cab is the same but can't remember if the cab mounts are exactly the same but a lot of those are in better shape than the pick up cabs. Just something to consider.
Thanks i will look into it and see if its compatible with my '72!
The large trucks also had factory running boards due to how high they sat which also protected the rockers. I think you are correct that the cab mounts are different.
thank you im going to try and fix the existing cab at this stage
@@keithbrann5086
Always check left upper cab at windshield,they rust there from inside !!!,factory air cab is great ,but vintage air does a great job!!!
Thank you for the tip! I’ll definitely keep it in mind and your right vintage air is awesome and I’ll most likely go down that path.
About a hundred buck
You better be getting on your hands and knees and looking at those Cab mounts. They are known for rotting out....
Yep I’ve noticed, with my original cab we had to cut it off it was so bad.
I have a c10 that came with leafsprings 1972 with a 402 396 bored original it came with disc brakes in front and ac but why does it have leaf springs only one I've seen like that it came from longhorn chevrolet still has the original long horn chevrolet decals on it
72 will have leaf springs. I bet it has a 5 bolt wheel too.
leaf springs were optional on the chevys with the trailing arms/coil springs being standard. I think in the GMCs it was reversed
There’s a lot 68 to 72 in that place where I am they all gone I haven’t seen a 68 to 72 in years there’s a hole row in that yard
we have about all the parts you need for 67-72 chevy C-10 / 20 - even a small window cab "in good condition" if interested southern california
BUT ARE THEY MINT ????
for 55 year old parts yes
Yes it does

Love your vidieos

Looks like it got.a lot of rust

Thanks I’m looking into doing this and fixing the rust with new sheet metal. Appreciate the tip!
Hola to you beautiful people I am glad that I watch your ch I am looking for a 72 short bed frame or. 70 thank you all I will try to find my way up there
All the best with your project and welcome to my channel!!
Just have patients you will find a good cab.young lady i cant wsit to see your truck after you truck is finished 😊
yes i will be as patient as possible with me lol haha
All of that smacking is irritating.
And I just bought a 68 big window great shape stepside 200 in san antonio texas
nice those trucks fully restored look amazing!
The larger trucks are going to be better shape because they sat higher off the ground maybe an old fire or grain truck
That’s good to know when I look into restoring a COE!
Hi Rana .My buddy did the same with his 1950 f1 and cab was in same shape rotted,beat the owner did great with overboard with putty.Maybe cut out and beat the cab back to factory.Its all pricey unfortunately. Especially the past few years.
Thnx mate, I’ll explore all options, and will def get some more eyes on the cab before I do purchase.
Thank u for responging

Thanks
My gal C10 needs TLC , and will get a full body make over

Always new so why now. Western Kansas has complete rust free cabs that will probably have some rodent damage but even so, you should be able to even get past that
It’s not rust, the damage is from an impact the cab took, it’s fixable but will be pricey.
Hey Rana shame about your original cab..hope you find a good A/C cab soon..take care and i very much look forward to your next C10 update
Thanks Garry 🙏
Look for a heavy duty larger series truck. Interchangeable cabs, higher off the ground = less rust. Check it out.
Thanks Raymond, that’s true all these that are on the ground have issues.

Vintage Air makes gen 5 sure fit ac for your pickup whether it has factory ac or not, same price.
Thanks I’ll look into that!
She's a really annoying expert
Expert?? My friend I’m afraid you’re on the wrong channel, I’m definitely no expert by any means, quite the opposite actually.

Your welcome! Thank you for watching and like they say nothing beats original pieces when it comes to putting it all together again!
What color u think i should paint it
😆 can’t even decide on a color for myself so I am no help!
You are gonna look great vin your truck WoW 👍♥️👍
Have you ever watched Adventures made from scratch? He comes in with excellent old cabs that maybe worth driving to Kansas for

Where did this person come from
Love to see Kent is a razorback fan.
Arizona has a lot better metal than those.
I heard! I’ll be looking for sure
Glad to see they are not just Big Boy Toys ! Good luck to u guys ! 👍
thanks Tim, I need all the luck in the world haha I will be vlogging my build on the channel.

That s a great question, asking if other cabs will fit.
thank you, hope it helps others too!
Thanks a bunch keep doing good on your vidieos
Thank you for the support!
Good luck they’re hard to find 😊❤

They all rust
Yep need to find ones that have surface rust compared to the big holes. But not much luck so far
