I have a 56 cab that I am cutting up and thought that I would offer up any parts that any of you may want. I removed the roof and a buddy took the lower lip of the rear cab wall. Here is a pic of the cab, I spent $$$ having it sandblasted thinking that it was going to be usable but alas there is just too much hacking on the floor/firewall by the PO. There is a cowl vent that has been tacked in place and the channel below the windshield that is pristine. Even the front cab mount plates are rust-free. I thought I would make the offer before it went to scrap.

 

Would you be willing to cut out a 10"x10" square or something like that around the gas filler opening? I am planning on doing a recessed filler cap and this would help.

 

Here is the right rear corner...unfortunately I don't have any pics since I had the cab sandblasted so I can't say what is under the beige primer. I can cut this section out for you though.

 

If ya don't mind can ya take a look and let me know what you think. I'm looking to be able to take the piece off your cab and then do the work to recess a flip gas filler on that. Then graft that info my cab. If you could take a look and see if there is enough good steel around that are I'd be happy to take it from ya. I'm thinking like a 10-12" square section around where the area of the filler hole pass through would be perfect.

 

I like the "Eric" on the cab

 

I always save good uncut dashes and if the dash is cut up I save at least the "hump"

 

Here is another shot of the inside...I think that "ERIC" might have had a job up-armoring Humvees before he worked on this cab.

 

I'd save the hinges too Charlie before scraping it

 

Yep, the hinges and all the hinge bolts are neatly wrapped up for later use. Ironically the hinges had little wear and the bolts looked as if they had never been removed previously...although it may have just been the sandblasting that made them look so good.

 

hows the metal behind the dimmer switch? heres how bad I just found out mine was.

 

Your foot could have went through the floor if you hit your high beams too hard!

 

You sure have good eyes...lol

 

i am interested in the complete Dash
please let me know a price
also the door hinges and rear window surround

 

Hinges and dash are spoken for, the rear window surround is currently still attached to the roof which I am keeping. My intent with the roof is to hold onto it since there are many cabs in need of roofs...I have scrapped more than a few that had rotted roofs. The reason I kept the window surround with the roof section is because I am going to use the piece as a mold to cast a foam headliner. I believe that if a 56 F100 owner had the option to buy a cast foam headliner that could be easily upholstered and then installed with little more than spray adhesive that this would be a benefit. Heat and sound insulation, ease of installation, and a reasonable price.
As for the cab parts, they are being provided at the cost of shipping alone.
