Replacing cab corners question
 
I found this thread below where the person replaced their cab corners without welding.

They used some sort of structural epoxy to install them? Anyone else do the same?

I dunno if anyone else has tried it. Looks pretty good on keiths truck, and if its good enough for that it will be good enough for me. Thanks for the link

Epoxy is a good alternative, the big three have been using it years , they use panel adhesive to attach the roof panels. I have seen the results of the comparisons to the welded roof, the epoxy is many times stronger.

Prep is ever more important than before.
