I always liked the five window cab. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 1,901 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 1,901 | Its your truck. Do what you want to it.

Note: I took the best of both cabs in order to build my truck. Some bolters have sectioned in the corner windows. Do a search and the info will turn up. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 940 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 940 | I've seen a guy convert a five window to three. As the other's said, if you can cut and weld, there are pre-made panels/skins available and, it's your truck, do what makes you happy.
If it were me and my cab were a three window in the same condition my current cab is in, I would look for a five window cab first that didn't have any rust or other major defects, as mine has a bit of boot rot. They can be had pretty cheap and, if you can find one locally, will take less effort than welding in an inner and outer upper rear cab section or corners. Cutting and welding would be my plan B. ...but thats just my take on it. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2009 Posts: 33 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2009 Posts: 33 | Thanks, That was my thought.If I could find a good cab may be the best route as my cab does need a bit of work.I am good a replacing sheet metal , I restored a 57 Chevy. | | |
