Red face Looking for Big Window 56 Cab

Anyone know of or selling a 56 big back window cab? Hope to find a clean rust free cab with good floor and dash. Don't need doors, just the bare cab will do. Let me know whats out there.

What did they make 7,000 big windows? I think I saw 6,000 of them at the last Goodguys show here I would venture a guess that any decent big window cabs remaining have already been made into trucks or would sell for a huge premium. Good luck on the search though.

About two years ago when I was looking for a replacement cab there was a big window at Bob's F100s in California and they wanted $2,500.00 firm. Ended up finding a small window in Alberta for $600.00Cdn. Can always turn mine into a big window later.

Good luck on the search.

Hey guys thanks for the reply, I've always believed in just asking and some how someone comes thru with something. I'm hoping for someone who has stored a cab for a future project and has had a change of heart after many years of puttin it off. There has got to be that person out there. I'm hopefull.[I]

Ebay # 7902645431 the whole truck (most of it anyway) buy it now 4975.
Don't think anyone here is going to give one away any time soon, we all know what they're worth. Maybe you'll be lucky and find one for sale in someone's yard or sitting in a meadow or barn somewhere. I'm real surprised that one of the parts houses isn't offering a conversion kit.

You could always buy a fiberglass big window cab.
Probably be a lot less trouble & it will definately be rust free...FOREVER!

Or get a small window cab and graft in a big window conversion panel from Mid-Fifty ($600).

Sorry no fiberglass for me, I like steel. I'm still trying to land a deal on a complete 56 original big window truck. Im nurturing the deal along so wish me luck. As for my other 56 project,Igaveup my original cab for my dads truck years ago and a promise to replace itwith a big window cab and I think I'm on my own now. Hope there's a cab out there for me. I'm spreading the word.

Thumbs up

I know a guy here in Texas that might have on. He has a F100 junk yard. I bought a big back glass from him,and he's always on the hunt for big back window trucks. Email me and I can get you his name and no. Maybe he can help find one. Scott

Steel bbw conversion

Mike Chesser (out of NC I think) has a kit that is steel that converts to a bbw. Check out cheserbuilt.com. It's in my plan.
