I found a '60-'63 cab that is very clean and solid in that same area but totally shot everywhere else. Since they have the similar wrap around windshields would anyone know if he could cut out the portion of the '60s cab to rebuild the '57? It's the front drip rail and the edge where the windshield rubber connects to. Any help would be greatly appreciated. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 5,152 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 5,152 | You might move this question into the body and paint area. The people who are most likely able to help you are the ones who spend most there time in that part of the forum.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 | I'll agree with OldSub, Body and Paint section will get you more responces to this type question.
Now to put my $.02 in, I beleive that the windsheild shape is actually different in that area. I might be mistaken, but i beleive that paricular part has recently become available as a repair panel. Might be worth checking in to.
