About the cab, I have been very please with it. It came with plenty of 1x1 steel tubing reinforcements throughout, it braces the dash to the firewall without sacrificing underdash room. The glass is over 1/4" thick and is very sturdy. The FG cab is at a guess about 300lbs heaver than a stock cab with the doors(glass installed). The fit is perfect and gaps are great. Oem glass and rubber can be installed with no problem(front and rear). Bear claws and actuators work wonderful and wiring and grounding is no a issue. It sits perfect on the frame with no rear swing arms, I did have to use some 1x1 tubing and nylon strips for the rear mounts and leveling. Uses oem front cab mount. Everything is smooth and clean. You can mount all your gauges and switches where you please. Cannot use oem door rubbers but window rubbers work perfect. There are no holes for mounting of the front fenders or inner fender braces, had to fiqure those out. Stock visors and inside rear view mirror mount easily. Drip rail is filled. Door handles, vent windows, and cowl vent are shaved. No RUST. The only issue I have with the cab is that when the doors where made that the outer shell was first, then all window and inside door components and then the inner door was glassed over that. I had to cut panel out for mounting of door handles and access to door parts for future repair. As a whole, it has been great with some learning curves but I have been very happy for the price of the cab. Plus, if you can Bebops will give you 20% off anything that you need for your truck from the frame to the hood ornament, well worth the extra big hit. Bebops was great and helpful to me and I would reccomend them anytime. I will buy my next effie cab and goodies from then after my next divorce.

I was real impressed also. The cab is a sweet deal....I thought the initial cost was steep---but with all the discounts and the ''no rust'' issue---it is a great hot rod. I have refinished alot o0f corvettes and my avanti is also fiberglass--and the bebops cab is top notch. I love how straight the side view of the fiberglass is.
Hope to get a short ride soon......BUT maybe I will wait/ the power of that 56 will put me back in the hospital!!!! LOL
