Default Looking to replace my cab...

Hello everyone, does anyone know of a good source to buy a replacement cab for my '94 short bed? I'm thinking it has to come from out west (ex. Arizona) as I live in New England and these cabs here are just as bad if not worse than what I have.

I've purchased patch panels for some of the cab sections, however, after climbing under the vehicle seeing even further rot, and needing to remove the cab anyway, I would rather see if I can find an entire cab replacement.

Any thoughts of where I could begin my search?

having a cab shipped that far is going to be crazy expensive

Look to southern states as well. I'm in Texas and just purchased a 94 and the thing looks like it was garage kept. As for shipping, get ahold of Shipping Wars and have them bid it out lol

Best thing you can do is go online and keep looking at all the trucks in the 500 to 750 range. Perfect you are not likely to find, but if you keep looking you should eventually find a truck with a fairly good cab but the rest is junk. I did see one advertised on kijiji up here in southern Ontario - just the cab but it looked pretty mint. It's white, even the floor pans looked mint, guy was asking 400 if I remember right.
P.S farm trucks are best, and 250 and 350 cabs are the same.

As mentioned above if you have the time and room look for a solid parts truck. I sold a cab a couple years ago, only took a week before someone came and gave me full price.

Your going to have to switch registration and ownership too.

Thanks for the information guys. I think I may have found one here in New England that looks to be in pretty good shape. It has the cab and front end so at least I will have a couple of good quarter panels to boot!
