You might want to spell out the entire name of the item?
Better yet, you might want to provide a link to the item listing?
Is this the complete name of the item:
153873 - 1952-53 GM Truck Complete Cab Assembly - With Original Style Firewall
$8294.99 each | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 2,832 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 2,832 | We have not done an AD reproduction body but we have done a Dynacorn 69 Camaro reproduction steel body and it was a decent piece but one must remember that you get NOTHING in the line of small parts so one spends many hours chasing down repro parts from after market suppliers, gathering the fasteners, rounding up salvage yard parts for ones not reproduced, and much time on ebay and forum "for sale" sites. Dynacorn makes the usually preferred 47-50 AD cab for $7900 plus crating and shipping. Would not recommend for a first timer.

They probably all required some amount of tweaking on the assembly line.
