At one point I was gathering parts to build a C cab, about 1926 vintage. I have too many projects and an acquaintance has just picked up a C cab intact, except it's been "chopped" to fit in a standard garage. He wants to restore it back. I have the top metal in very good condition that I was going to use for my build, and am considering that maybe I have enough projects. Any idea of what I should ask for this part??
Thanks

Re: Value of C cab top metal
Yes, sides, back w/window frame. Really nice shape--if one were doing a "survivor" truck, could be just bolted on and used. I will also throw in my lower half cab parts, which are the usual rust buckets (cowl & door w/ "rot" on bottom).

I built this 1924 “ C “ Cab from swap meet parts, also lowered the roof line to 7ft. C Cabs of this time did come with a choice of high or low roofs. I hope this helps .

Re: Value of C cab top metal
I gave you a value opinion earlier David. Then you said you’d throw in rusty panels and doors. Add $50 to my previous opinion for them.

Re: Value of C cab top metal
Sold it all for $200, guy is happy, I have one less project on my list! Yes!! Win-Win. I still have the very nice 20' rear wheels to sell, but they will have to wait as they are buried in the currently unlit shop--still working on getting the overhead power line repaired.

David,
I put up LED shop lights from Costco. I think it is two for $40. Well worth it. I can even turn them on during the day with the garage open and it adds light. I understand that you need to fix your overhead electrical, but they could be used with an extension cord.

Matt,
Yes, those are good lights, I have a few of them myself. but 200' of extension cord over the creek and through the woods (and poison oak) does not sound like a good idea to me!!
You can see the broken guy wire (and neutral wire) just to the right of the tree top behind the pole. Bummer!!
