Thread: Working a cab in a chevy c10

Tweet

I've cut a roof from one cab and put it on another by cutting in the middle of the a and b pillars. You just have to measure a lot and brace it really well before welding it back together. In my mind this is the easiest way to fix your roof issue. At least nearly all the cab patch parts are available for these trucks.

Ryan's got the right approach. Cutting the pillars is going to be the easiest. Of course, when you're cutting you might cut the pillars on one of them short by three or four inches, then split the top across and use the front of one, back of the other.... That truck would look killer with a chop.

it would look great with a chop except I am already to tall for it. If I were to chop I'd have to extend the cab as well. I already have to cut down the seat brackets so that I don't hit my head on the roof the way it is.

Find a 68-72 suburban. Cut it behind the third door and graft the back of your cab on to the end of the burb. Remove the roof and cut it down to match a pickup roof line. hen you have a 3 door crew cab length. Lots of work, but sweet when done!

HAHAHA that would be great but I am not confident enough in my welding abilities to do that. but then I could put a step side on it and it would look really awesome.
