cab

Is there a company that makes a repo 53-55 cab or a place where there are any near perfect ones are? I know they make fiberglass 56 cabs but I want a 53-55.

thanks

I don't know of anyone who reproduces a steel cab. You're best bet is to find an old farm truck and use the cab. I checked you profile and it says you're located in TX. You should be able to find something down there.

There's one in this upcoming auction:

Quality Auctioneers Inc.

Place your location in the upper right hand corner, maybe some one is close by and can either offer you a cab or a lead on one.

I'm sorry to say but all the 53-55 cabs are used up. There are no more left in the whole world. You really need to build a 51-52 instead. Those are easy to find really nice parts for.

Hi Miller,

Where are you located? What part of the country? I might have some contacts that have a solid slant cab.

Hey Miller,
Welcome to the truck forum. You don't really say what city you
are from in Texas - pretty big place... If you happen to be in Central Texas there's a place down East of Seguin that has a lot of old trucks - not a bargain place but he's got them.

Home

This guy in San Antonio was getting rid of his hobby F1 stuff on
craigslist - He's got a '48-'52 style cab for $550.

1949 Ford F1 Parts

Good luck over there!

Ben in Austin

I see by your profile that you are in TX, if you get to the San Diego area I can show you a 54 cab that I have that is virtually ready for paint.
