cab fab help in indiana
I just recently purchased a 72 c10 Cheyenne and although I've been scouring this site and it's wealth of knowledge, I don't think I'm ready to take on the cab work. Does anyone know any good fab people around Indiana? I am looking to have the floor replaced, along with cab corners, rockers, mounts, and supports.

Stop into a few of the local body shops around the Muncie/Anderson area and talk to the owners to see the type of work they do and ask for reference's for previous restoration work. Speaking with a few prior customers will quickly give you knowledge on how the shop performs. There's a great body shop at the northwest side of Lucas Oil race way in Brownsburg (Former IRP track ) I'll try to find their name & # in my book if your interested email me @
robbinspd1199@yahoo.com If you find that the costs are a lot higher than you expected for your cab repairs to your cab I do have a 2 cabs that only need final prep work & paint to finish, or ( 3-4 cabs ) needing only rockers or cab corners. I try to avoid any that need the structural supports. Paul ( Owner ) @ GMCPauls |

It is hard to find a good shop that will do good resto work at a decent rate. Most shops will make their living doing Insurance work. I have found if you go to the shows and talk with people,they will know someone that is good at old resto work. A good word of mouth is their best friend :mm:

Ask around and talk to body shops as GMCPaul said. Occasionally you will find a shop that does restorations. Be prepared to pay big bucks though. If it's a good shop they have to pay their help good money to keep them.
We have a couple in our area and about 10 years ago I spoke with one of the owners. He said he doesn't give estimates. They only work by the hour at (back then) $50 but they do good work. |

I know it's hard to guess but any ballpark on hours expected for the repairs I mentioned above.
