Source for truck cab?

[crashz]

I'm looking to revive my 1983 GMC 1 ton. It needs a cab desperately. The floors, cab mounts, windshield frame and rear windframe are all in rough shape. It may be salvagable, but I'm thinking it will be much faster and probably cheaper to find a replacement cab.

I'm in no hurry, the truck has been off the road for over ten years, so its not the only issue to be tackled. But its the first and largest issue. As of right now, it runs and drives.

So would anyone know where to find a good used cab? A good clean southern cab would be best. And I'd be willing to take a little road trip!

Did you build the cab on your tractor?

Haha! No I didn't, but my fab skills are of that quality! Hence the need for a good soild rust free cab for my truck.

The tractor has the privilage of staying on our property in NY 100% of the time. So looks are not high on the priority list. Plus I have so much to do that just routine maintenance takes the rest of my free time out there. The truck is a different story. First of all I bought it back in 89 and it was my first vehicle. It was my father's truck before that. So it has some sentimental value to me. Once I gather the parts I need, I'll bring it to my house, rent a garage (wife insisted on buying a house with no garage!!!) and build it up right. It'll even be painted all the same color. And no exposed primer!!
