Where are you from? Welcome to the site and what not, but knowing whether or not you are within a reasonable shipping distance would probably help you find a cab.

A member and personal friend of mine has a sweet 79 cab for sale, but if you live in say,,,,,,,,,Florida,,,,,,,,shipping from Southern California might not be very cost effective.

Thanks buddy.

Cab isn't as perfect as I once thought, but 90% or more of the cab is sweet. Got a little rust issue in the driver drip rail that I just noticed.

Floors, cab corners, etc. other than that are PERFECT though.

Funny part is - here in CA I can't barely give it away. Had it listed for sale for a month and had ZERO calls. Best part is it's listed for $50. Yup - FIFTY dollars.

It's about to meet the plasma just like the last 3 rust free cabs that wouldn't sell for the same $50 price

I think the one my son has will meet the same fate..

We have had it for sale for a while and no bites..

In fact he has a whole 77f250 4x4 that he has started to part out cause no one is interested in it.. It will have a date with the crusher also if there are no bites..

I live in Michigan 48104. Any idea what shipping would cost a guy to get it up here? This question is for anyone any where with a rust "free" cab. I need a good rust free std cab and a short box for my current project and would be interested to know the cost to get it here. Thanks, -Ed

bigblu78, do you have any pics of the cab you have for sale?? I would like to see the floor pans and cab corners for sure. Also would like to know what you'd have to have for it. Shoot me a PM and I will give you my e-mail address so you could send pics. I suppose a 6-7 hour drive would be acceptable for the "right" cab at the "right" price. Thanks, -Ed

I will do my best to get you some pics soon... It is raining here and it is currently outside of the shop.... It does have factory AC, auto, 4x4. It has a short box as well but the floor and wheel wells are toast.... The structure is still very solid but it will need some help quick if somone were to save it...
