Very nice work:metal:. Thanks for the pics of the cab corners/rear cab supports I'm about to replace them and was unsure of what they were supposed to look like

After getting the all the rust taken care of inside the cab I decided to lay it back to clean everything up with a wire wheel to get a nice clean undercoating on it

Fun fact...I have the same damn cut out in the center of my floor.

the grill shell that came with the truck I thought was in decent shape, but turns out every time I looked at it there was something else wrong or another little rust hole, But luckily I had an extra shell laying around that had some lower panel damage but no rust holes so I took the best of both and made it work

Did you buy the repair panel or just make your own?
