Looking for a cab

I’m looking for a replacement cab for my 1976 highboy since the roof is rotted out. Any help locating a cab is greatly appreciated!

PM, not sure if a '79 150 works for you.

Here’s a question on this task. What do you do about the VIN when this happens?

Nothing- the official VIN is on the frame in these years of trucks. The VIN on the plate on the driver door is technically only a warranty plate, so many states will only accept the frame VIN. I know that is the case in my state- had to scrape the frame until it was clean enough they could verify it before I could get the title. Other states don't do VIN inspections or accept the door tag, so you can get some "interesting" results when you compare the frame VIN sometimes.

Keep your frame and keep your door tag. Door tag is for info.

How about a whole pickup ? I'd think you rust belt guys would jump on rigs like this. just the chinese sheet metal alone to fix major rust would pay for it.
