Cab for R

dnd · Aug 12, 2023

Might be a needle in the hay stack, but we are looking for a cab to put on one of our R molines. I understand the National show will be about 10 miles
from us in 2024, so it would be wonderful if we.could find one. Thank you for looking. Dan

Good luck finding good one. Most all rotten and parts missing 20 years ago. Mine was one of better ones and still took many hours.

Steve Korf is working on one currently. Have you tried Welters?

No I have not tried them yet. I will. Thanks for the reminder. Dan

Well I found a nice running r 1940 with a cab that is structurally sound. Trying to figure out $ and how much talc it will take
It needs work though, rear door, floor panels, windows and side window operator.
Any help and sources would be appreciated. I live in western Wisconsin
Cell or text and Ill try you.

Working on a 39 cab. Made new floor panels,outer panels. Bought reproduction doors years ago. In need of special window gaskets,glass and one window frame rail.

I found a mid 40,s KB truck that I think I can get the window regulators from. Ill look to see whats inside when I pull them off to see what the glass frame looks like and how difficult it is to get out. Which side right or left and which rail front or back. Will try to snap some pictures.
Thinking about stationary windows and thought I read that other folks just made a template and an auto glass place could cut to fit. Didnt think about what type of gasket Id required though. If its extra special or ?.

Thinking of going to scrap yard Friday. Ill let you know if I learn anything

Went through IH and found rail not same. Regulator is maybe.My research say used in 60's 3 ton. Rear windows solid. Special gaskets so window sits flush in hole.
