Does anyone know where I could find a kit to rebuild my dad's cab? I was preping it for the summer season and I discovered that the wood in the cab behind the fuel tank is rotten and I found that most of the cab is covered in wood bondo. Any idea's or suggestions would help if not I am going to have to start taking it apart carefully to hand cut them all.

KC wood manufacturing might have your kit available.


Every time I learn something new, I forget something I used to know, like that time I took a wine making class and forgot how to drive!

The link below is to a place that sells the complete wood kit. It may in fact also be KC Wood Manufacturing as mentioned.

I was thinking of buying a 1927 and was checking into the wood as it needed it all. The quote I got for a complete kit was $3200 plus 12 to 14% for shipping East of the Mississippi or out West.
If you have wood that is good enough for patterns then you should be fine. $3200 is a lot of wood but I also understand there was a lot of work to make them like originals.
You have probably already checked around and know more than I do about the cabs but just as info I understand that most folks go with a solid piece in the cab "back" or something to that effect.
I've also read where a couple places on the door pillars that someone used metal.

Keep us posted on your progress. I know that is a very interesting project.

I just checked some of my old info and I believe the kit below is out of Willis, Va.
The guy's name is Bill Cartwright

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile
