My main caution would be - is it possible to purchase a cab assembly complete with all the sheet metal and and other hard to get pieces?Joel, I'm really starting to like this idea. That style of cab would certainly fit better with the home made "cabin" I'm thinking of building. It will definitely be function over style, and I'd prefer the whole thing be simple and angular rather than just the back half. The price is certainly right. I wish I had one in front of me to look at and measure for fitment, etc... Anyone on-list ever done something like this? I guess the main modifications would be steering and shift linkages, and seating. Am I overlooking anything major (besides storage and work space...)? Thanks, John A.

I've watched on govliquidation.com as a bunch of Mark 48 cabs has gone for peanuts, like $35 each. Pretty aggressive looking, and you can't beat the price. This one's beat up, but you can get the point: <http://cgi.govliquidation.com/auction/view?auctionId=484605> For what it's worth. Best, Joel
