Man, that's news to me.

In fact, the November 2003 issue of Custom Classic Trucks has an article on how to do a '57 - '60 conversion. To quote the article,

"If you're doing a '56 F100, you can buy a conversion kit from John's F-100 in Anaheim, Ca. for around $900. But, no such kits are available for '57 and later trucks".

This article uses a donor cab, and goes through the process of the conversion. It's pretty kool. Better start lookin' for a donor. I know where there's a '60 BBW (no, not Big Beautiful Woman!) that's just kinda sitting there, but I've got dibs on that one!

I've never heard of any company either. I don't think there would be enough business with the 57-60's. Too many big windows produced. In our case, it would be cheaper buying a bigwindow cab and doing bodywork. 1956's are expensive so the coversion kits are made for those. Follow? -4speed
