DMC 1450's front/rear cab only

Nikson · Jul 22, 2014

Got the 1450 in the garage, getting ready to take it apart...

If there is anyone interested in the front/rear full cab combo that was from factory - let me know. Has a hatch above front passenger cab.

Hate to see it going to the scrap yard.

Costs ? - great question - I have no idea, I assume it would be my cost of labor to remove it & cost of it at the scrap yard at least...

it will be this exact cab - all glass is in good shape!

Honestly, I'm not sure where to start even. I will be starting the work either today or later this week on removing the cabs, seems like it should be fairly easy to take them off. I have a place where I can store them temporarily if you wanted to take some time to get the logistics figured on how to come to pick it up.

Anyways, feel free to contact me via phone/text if need be

Pat,

Cab has been removed from the cat and on my trailer.

It took 2 of us just over 6 hours to remove it.

Considering labor hours & its good overall condition, go ahead think it over on your end and shoot me an offer...

ANY OTHER TAKERS?

So this is what I've got as of 07/24/2014 removed and ready for sale

next I will be removing windshield frame, front clip that includes the headlight area & radiator part (part thats below the windshield frame & above the black lower portion - exterior only), the "black part" of the lower front end as well will be cut off, since I'll be fabbing all over new.

Glass is NOT perfect, but no damage, just minor rock chips.

Door glass is good, weatherstripping had its best days thou, while still functional.

Wiper motors are removed (including arms) - they DO work - will sell them, but separately, unless price is right to include in the whole package.

p.s. I still have the old motors from my 1402 that are still functional, i've gone through them, relubed and put together...

No headlights?

Considering all the circumstances and probably a better idea to NOT scrap the cab, I've stored it at my sister's property until someone buys it,

I think its worth the money to the right buyer, we can all agree on that.

Headlights can be included as well, needed those removed for access.

I'm assuming that by next weekend, I should have all of the parts off the frame and ready for pick up -

Whoever is considering to purchase, go ahead and crunch your numbers and throw me offers either by phone or instant message through here (should come to my email).

I'm on/off in the mountains exploring Oregon with kids, so I'll get back to ya as soon as I could.

Thanks

Front end clip - windshield frame & lower clip (headlights/heater/vents)

Had some guys take interest in the front end's lower part of the frame

Not sure how it will turn out, but I will be most likely cutting it out, to fab my own.

All these parts are stored and ready for pickup (except the lower black part of the front, should be out sometime within next 2 weeks)

All in its own time...

Are those what you are looking for? I've not had much offers, yet not in a rush to sell., just going to let this stuff sit on the trailer and wait for the right buyer...

redsqwrl · Jul 31, 2014

No, those Are items I have acquired over the years, Many need to go as I intend to down size a bit....

who needs:?( any of those items )

I would deliver them to the new owner and then visit you.

Got most of the stuff stripped off the cat, got to the front clip /nose that you wanted...

I'm not really sure on what is it or how you would want it, sine its all integrated into the main tub, and how did you plan on putting it back if I was to simply chop it off?

How wide are the grousers on that machine. I need a template to get some guides made to widen my tracks.

Excited to see your progress.

The whole track is like 28 in wide if I remember correct, I assume that grousers are about 26 or so, since they are not the full width of the actual track...

Let me know if you need any other pics or measurements,

Nikson · Jan 5, 2015

Figured I would give this a bump... with most of the decisions made on my side for the build, parts are FOR SURE on sale now.

Full front/rear cab, complete with even front lowers (although cut in a half) but parts are very usable.

Front upper clip where headlights are, heater core part along with the front part of the doghousing have been cut out.

If needed, pictures can be posted here.

Make your offers, if no takers, I will try ebay & CL. Cab currently on a trailer and ready for pick up/delivery within reasonable distance.

If anyone is interested and needs this delivered, I could make arrangements possibly for shipment as well.

Here are them floor panels as Mike wanted I guess...

I think these are VERY USABLE in a case for someone needing them, there is minor rust in passengers side cornet, and the rest is in good working order.

I'll include the floor panels for anyone taking the whole package at the set price of $2k. In all the honesty, I've been thinking on the price and I guess its either taking the time to build this or taking these and just using them as already set and good...

Thus pricing is really DEMAND/SUPPLY based, parts arent requiring much storage costs or feeding costs for that matter, thus I'm not too hurting to sell them off for too cheap, yet dont really care to hold onto them either.

Hope this explains my reasoning on pricing. If someone cares to "credit card" the parts, I can take PayPal credit card payment, but you'll have to cover the commission difference.

Thanks everyone for looking/considering!!!

What would you sell the mirrors for? Are you separating things or all one package?

I prefer to keep the cab all in one piece for now...
