Does any place make replacement cabs? I have besides my Camper Special a 1979 F250 Highboy. The cab is rotted. It leakes around the windshield, holes in the floor boards, and the rear is rusting out. I could fix all of this if need be, but I would like to now my options before I would start restoration.

I have run across a website that you might jump up and down about. It is "Web adress: World Wide Web. #####. As far as i can tell they sell everything you can get for a ford truck or bronco. Good luck. CrazyPurpleChevyEater.
well they wont show the adress so contact me:

 

Search Yahoo for 73-79 ford trucks. you will find what your lookin for. CrazyPurpleChevyEater.

 

Richard, sure you can buy a replacement cab. I have seen new ones available in fiberglass with steel reinforced floors. I would imagine the price is rather spendy however. Have you tried looking for one off from a truck that had an expired engine ? DF

 

US body makes fiberglass replacements for trucks going back to as far as 65 I think. They are around 5K though.

People who say it can't be done should not interrupt the person doing it.

 

Boss thanks for the US Body site, now I know where to get my tilting front clip

 

Why not get a cab from the west coast?? There is so many rust free cabs lurking around that you can't shake a stick at all of them. You can buy the whole truck for about $500, sometimes cheaper depending on what's wrong with it. I picked up my '73 for $300!!! I got him to throw in the new set of 31x10.5x16.5" BFG T/A's and new rims for another $400, they had less than 1k on them(worth $800 alone!!). In my book this was a steal! Super cabs are a bit tougher to find, but are still out there waiting to be had at a song of a price too!

I'm looking for the top of a cab for my 79 f 150

 

The steel above the windshield is rotted out.

 

Welcome to FTE and the Bumpside (67/72 ) kingdom.
But you posted this in the wrong area. We are 1967/1972. You need to be in the 73/79 Dentside area. The roof is specific to 73/79 F100/350 body style.
The part number was D3TZ1050202A for regular cabs. No dealer or N.O.S. company has it on my locators. You'll have to grab one at a JY or PNP locally. Cr@igs list maybe. Of try FTE's "market place. Click on it in the black band top of this page.
