Where can I find a solid, rust free supercab cab?

I need a rot free cab. I called a few salvage yards out west for a cab, no dice.


Id like a non-AC supercab, not looking to pay gigabucks, but a reasonably priced, somewhat complete dry, rot free cab, 74-79.


Thanks.

Call Marty at SoCal Truck Wrecking (323-587-3144), ask him to put your request on the wreckers "hot line."

Wow! Do they still run that "hot line"? As I recall, it was kinda like an open, "party line" telephone. The counter guys could hear the spoken requests as they came in from all areas. 50's tech.
