new build start up. need some help
Hey guys,
im new to this site, but I am not new to custom work. I am looking to do a 1957-1960 crew cab short box. I am hoping that someone has/knows of a cab for sale. I will be building the truck on a 2008 4x4 Superduty frame with 6.4 diesel. Please let me know what you got.
Thank you.

Welcome to another Orphan Years Truck enthusiast.
Good luck w/ that, as there were around only 1000 made for all years combined for the Crew Cabs.
So doing what you are wishing to do, If you find one, will only take a rather original Rare Orphan Years Truck out of play.
Usually on average, only 10% survive of the F series variations & are not taken to the Scrap Yard.
What you might wish to do is take two Standard Cabs & Mate them as was Originally done by a Subcontractor.

I am just hoping that someone might have a truck bc it will save me months of work. So im willing to pay to make my life much more simple. If I find a 56 I will be doing the same build but but in a 2wd slammed.

Once again, These Crew Cabs for the '57-'60 years are extremely Rare.
I have only come across three so far in my life, a '57, '58 & a '59, so good luck w/ that.
If you do the math, there are around, 2, count them, 2, that may have survived for each year.

So make one, as I already Suggested you do.
Just the same as the Subcontractors did that were Hired by FoMoCo in the first place.
They took two Standard Cabs & welded them together, so it should be quite simple for you w/ your Skill Sets. :-)
