The cab corners didn't have much rust but I wanted to cut them out anyway to make sure the hidden rust was taken care of. The left corner was also crunched and would be easier to straighten off the truck.










Making a patch for the rusty spot.




After blasting- bottom edge is wavy and doesn't match up well with the corner section.




After straightening the flanges.






Brushed with SPI epoxy to seal up the cavity.




Same process on the other side.




Another thing I did was remove the inner roof brace, mainly for access to straighten the roof skin, but also so I can widen it so it can be welded back in on the outside of the roof rail edge instead of the inside. That will let the headliner to fit flush along the roof rail.
