You may have to. This is the beauty or the bane of owning vintage autos. Some parts just do not exist or are simply unavailable, so... you make your own. The down side is that if you do do a good job.... no one notices your work. :lol:

I will be over tomorrow taking my 85 720 ST to get inspected for a bonded title.  I will take pictures of what is available.  Fix your valance.  I have a couple pairs of rockers left.  I need to look closely at the cab we have to see if I am willing to cut it up.

 

If I decide it will be cut I will need payment in full shipping included before I will cut it up.  I got burned several years ago and cut up a 55 Chevy 2 door hard top and did not get paid after cutting it.

 

We will discuss price after I see if the cab is bad enough to cut.

How did you go with the other cab?

The 69 521 cab is too clean to cut up.  Sorry, I will keep an eye out for more parts.  I have a couple sets of rockers but they do not include the back cab corners and do have some rust.
