You can still get plain King Hauler cabs. Most guys are trying to make money with the metallic cabs on ebay.
I know what you mean about making the first cut! Just look at my "Bud" truck. This was my 1st try at chopping into a cab. Making a day cab doesn't count compared to changing the headlights, lowering and shortening the sleeper. GIVE ME METAL ANY DAY!!!!

Looking like its headed in the right direction! just get some styrene in there and it'll fall together. I typically use .060 which is approximately the same thickness of the body already
