where to buy the back wall of cab?
« on: August 12, 2013, 07:49:20 pm »
Looking to price out buying cab repair sections for the back of an 87 chevy truck. Considering doing this to my burb. Hate the idea of buying a truck and cutting the cab up just to do this. Just checking out my options.

87 chevy suburban. 350 tbi w/ 700r4. 2wd sluggish tank sporting plastidip paint.

You will have to find a truck or cab from a junk yard or craigslist. Theres no repair panels as of yet for the back of the cab...

                          Just look for a 4 door cab . GM used to sell the rear cab panels but i've only seen one come up for sale once .

I am a former Texan. Was raised there but am in Alabama now. I am still looking at this but may talk myself out of it. My only mode of transportation right now so has to wait for a replacement regardless.

A damaged donor cab is probably going to be your best bet.
