Well, us folks here like original steel, however, this is the HiPo Forum. Your thoughts are probably spot on time wise. I can’t recall anyone here using an entire replacement cab. Ecklers has been around a long time and has a reputation for being a bit pricey. Before you pull the trigger look around for other suppliers. I suspect the components are made buy the same factory that makes every other piece of sheet metal for these trucks. Do your due diligence before you drop your hard earned cash.ðŸ›
