Where to get a56 cab

Hi all, I'm still working on the 56 and trying to get this cab issue fixed. I need to do a cab swap because mine has the drip rails rotted out but the rest of the doors and floor are in good shape. Also the dents in the back of my cab above the bed are from a fire that warped the steel. What I need to know is does anyone have or know where to get a 56 cab with a solid drip rail? I'm willing to pay top dollar for a good one because here in the south bondo and fiberglass repair kits dont last long and and I want to do this right the first time. Thanks for any help in advance.

Thanks, yeah I just spent about twice what this trucks worth getting it shipped to me from cali. Rule #1 from now on is I buy nothing without personally inspecting it first or unless it come from a reputable FTE member or sponsor.

Thanks brother that's just what I'm needing!!! Sdetweil said has a 56 he might sale me so thanks for the leads guys. In the south the humidity does some evil voodoo on these old trucks especially drip rails. That's why I want a solid one because fiberglass and body filler wont last here.

Chico is about 3.5 hrs north of me. For time and gas cost, I can get the cab for you and strap it to a pallet for shipping.

Thanks that would be awesome but let me see if Sam and I can't work out a deal for his 56. Do you mind giving me a day or two to see if i can get his truck and if not I'll take you up on your offer. I'll send you a private message by Thursday evening either way and let you know. Thanks for stepping up and helping me out.
