Re: Bought this yesterday.... 1953 4100 Wrecker...

it will be cool if you can make it work. i think, worst case scenario, you just cut the cab right down the middle and make it fit. it's only sheet metal. it would be good to have a spare cab laying around for extra parts and dimensions but, at the end of the day, you just make it fit whatever the size turns out to be. keep the doors on the cab and brace the 2 halves seperately to keep the geometry proper, link them up and fill the holes with sheet metal. bingo bango and Bob's your uncle.don't forget the windows are in a V configuration so if the cab is cut the windows will get longer and, being on an angle, will make the cab longer front to rear. unless you change that or p;lan on taking some space out of the vent area in fron of the window. make some new cab mounts too, those old rear cab shackles could be upgraded
hope you are a good welder, haha


do you have a plan?
