The upside is I think there is money to be made replacing cab mounts up here in VT but they are going on a carousel and stripped of interior first. Then again that takes up way too much real estate in my garage and the bikes have to stay outside...maybe in the summer only.

Thanks again guys, much appreciated.
Hard to say....selection of cabs could be daunting to find one usable. You'll probably end up gutting whatever you get anyways to weld in new rocker panels and body mounts on it, too.

Therein lies the problem here in New England. Glad we can pay those high taxes that allow us to have barely passable roads at times in the winter and still manage to collect material under the vehicles that eat them alive.
