So I put a new cab on my truck, but there is still a bunch of decent metal on the old one, and I don't want to just scrap it. I also don't want to spend hours with a spot-weld cutter...
What is the best way to cut up this cab, so that it might be able to donate its good parts to other cabs?












I also have a good roof cut from when I thought I was going to stick with this cab, but once the mounts started to collapse, I decided to just replace it.

 

Cut it up with a SawsAll

 

2x.. I cut up a wrecked VW Rabbit race car into manageable sized pieces and saved the exterior skins for our recently purchased race car.

.. then I called a scrapper and he was glad to haul away the remnants inner structures.

 

X2 on cut it into smaller pieces with a sawzall and some Red Diablo blades.

Did you cut out the Safety Certification sticker on the dvrs side B pillar of the old cab? And or did you get a replacement from Marti auto?

If you have the space, time and care to mess with it, just put it out to pasture as is. That way you can custom cut patch panels for FTE members...

Ck with your state chapter folks to see if any one needs patch panels.

 

Any ideas on exactly where to section it, so as to end up with usable cuts?

 

Save larger than normal sections that normally rust out. Cab corners, rockers, front of rocker kick panels, B pillar cab sides, windshield front lip, roof drip rails, back window seam area.....

 

Haul it to a big field. Pack about 20lbs of Tannerite in the middle of the cab. Step back 100 yds. Practice shooting the biggest gun you can find. Recommend standing behind a big tree while doing this.
