Agree with baldeagle. You did mention unchop/unstretch as one thought. Albeit not easy as you said.
So No conversion, no unchop. Buy an original COE cab. It should fit right on the frame if it has not been chopped or stretched or modified.
Offer it for trade or sale. Waiting for trade is a long shot. Sell it first. Then search for a COE cab or a COE truck and drag it home.
You can decide the door thing AFTER you get a stock donor COE. FORGET that part for now.
Lots of real big rigs that no one wants with COE cabs, sitting around. Just take the cab and let the seller keep the rest. Can't haul a 40 foot dually frame home.
Pix on the internet show doors not the same. Totally different. 1/2T vs COE.
Right is right, even if everyone is against it, and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it. - William Penn
