Fiberglass cab / front end

Post by knightfire83 »

I was searching online for info on another post and came across fiberglass parts for our trucks. I didn't even they existed.....

As I want to continue my trucks "diet" I've had them in my favorites for years.
The hood is on my "wish list". :wink:

I 4-wheeled with a guy in South Florida that had a full Jeep tub. He had nothing but issues with cracking, (I think at last count three tubs later)? Maybe he was too hard on it though? I bet our trucks cab in fiberglass would drop 200#'s easily? :hmm:

other than having to add a bunch of groundwires to the wiring harness- a fibreglass cab would be great
i've got some glass fenders i scored for mega cheap @ a wrecker way back when on my ol' pig- they needed to be shaved in order to open and close the doors without goring the fenders and even with a shwack of shimming up the passenger side fender won't line up with the door 100% ,but i still think they're supercool nonetheless
- still got my first first car 20+yrs later : 69 f100 sorta kinda pretending its a Mercury M100 w/a 70 f350 sport custom cab (factory buckets) 67 grille with 69 ranger cooneyes 68 merc box and hood,some supercool fiberglass fenders i scored way back when, 76 f150 disc brake frontend..currently running a 90 5.0HO 4bbl/c4 auto & 3.50 posi...originally a 360/c6 f100 Ranger with dealer added towpack (incl. kelsey hays trailer brake),boxside toolbox,behind the seat stowage & belly tank...only original parts left on 'er are the frame,rear end,rear springs,and rear bumper...
