wonder how many they will sell. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 1,517 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 1,517 | probably like all the other repro crap,,,nothing will fit on them, ie;glass,doors,etc......
i hate to be so negative about repro stuff, but isnt that the way it always works out?? | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 . | | . Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 | The thread about this in the general truck talk mentions the other original parts not fitting well or at all. Apparently made in china and perhaps not as thick a gauge metal too.

Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 | I agree, with $10,000, at least for now, you can buy an excellent complete western cab with next to no rust, have it shipped home, and have a very professional restoration including paint. You can pay someone to do the work for you and have an original cab when done.
I imagine it will be many years before the new cab is close to being a viable replacement for the real thing. | | |
