Ok, I just got a 60 apache and the roof is rotted (the worst I have ever seen) so I'm looking at cab replacement which is sad cause the floorboards and rockers are in perfect shape, anyway, when I switch cabs how do I go about putting the origonal nominclature plate back on the pillar legally (or do I just do it cool)

i always figured it is just replacement sheetmetal, like a fender - so my vote is "just do it". one man's opinion only.

Up until less than a year ago, I was a licensed salvage dealer. It is common to put a replacement cab on a damaged vehicle. I am also in the trucking business and several of my trucks have had replacement cabs installed. I would just do it. If you ask some enforcement agency, they may want to show off their authority and tell you all sorts of BS. As a salvage dealer I was audited periodically. I just made sure I could document the origin of the cabs I installed.

Use the title that comes with the cab you use.

The bottom is perfect but the top is shot? Was it sitting on its roof?



1959 Chevy 3/4-ton (pics posted soon)

I child-proofed my house, but my kids keep finding their way back in.

I have simply done it & told no one-around here DMV & law enforcement couldn't care less if the vehicle is over 10 y/o.
