Desperate for cab for crew cab

I am looking for a cab for a late 70s crew cab. Need just a good cab with a rust free roof. Close to Texas would be nice. I also need a short style side bed.
Thanks for any leads.
Mark

Might check this site out. I've never gotten anything from them but they're advertising a crew cab there. Looks like your desperation will cost you, however.

This guy has had this one for sale for awhile now. It would be a bit of drive for you because it is near St. Louis, MO, but it looks like a pretty good deal.

Thanks for the info C4, John T and Pauls Printing. I am still desperate. Been checking a few leeds but no joy so far. There is one about 5 miles from my house but roof is toast. Please keep looking as I hate to scrap this truck.

Thanks for the update Paul
If you want to sell a roof or cab let me know. I have a good cab but roof is rotten all the way around. I can replace it if I can find a good roof. I dont need glass or doors just a bare cab or a cut off roof.
Have a great vacation.

Wow too bad you guys don't live near CA there is a 76 F-350 Crew Cab and a 1972 f-250Crew Cab in mint shape. Both are sitting in the Fairfield Pick and pull . Rust free and dent free 149.00 for the entire cab with doors. Maybe there is a local FTE'r that can use these I hate to see these go to waste!

Wow gashog, what a deal. Anyone got an idea how I could get that shipped to TX. Mapquest says 1800 miles one way from my house to Fairfield and at $3.44 a gallon and 10 MPG that would be $1245.00 round trip just for gas. Needless to say I aint driving up there.

Check with Amtrak or one of the other train companies - I hear shipping bulk freight on a train is usually a lot cheaper.

I've been looking into that sort of thing as well, being in MA where a perfectly good piece of metal will last approximately 37 seconds on our winter roads, and I've been finding that the prices for shipping are not much better, understandably.

Y'all won’t believe what just happened. The manager with one of our sister divisions just called and asked if 1 or 2 of my guys could go to Stockton CA. to help install a new piece of equipment. Stockton aint far from Fairfield, now how do I work this out?
