Hi guys! Been a while since I have been here, health problems etc. But it is time to get working on my 51 3100 project. It is currently a 3 window cab and I want to upgrade to a 5-window and Welding is no problem for me.

Are there kits available for this?

I see there are inner and outer patch full patch panels avail, but they are pricey just for the corners.

I am in NJ, so the doner cabs are few around here. Went and looked at one this past weekend and way to much rust to deal with.

Are there any places that will cut just the corners out?

Thanks!

I have sold two of these this year I usually get $100 for the sheetmetal $50 for the glass and it costs $80 or so to ship so I am sure there are others who have as well. Put an ad in the swap meet section. I cut them out of severly rusted cabs (floors) but the roof window sections were solid see pictures.

Thanks Guys, Wally's swap is exactly how I envisioned it to go. I will put an ad in the swap meet unless Brad has another set? smile
