rusty cab floor (rear)
Just managed to get a 69 c10 stepside (the one with the spare stuck to the side).
When I took the seat out I found the rear portion of the cab to be badly rusted. I can find patch panels for the front but as yet I cannot find anything for the rear. Anyone know where I can get this kind of stuff or do I need to cut it out of a wrecked cab ? Thanks |

Mine was that way when I started also. Never found a patch panel, never thought to cut from another cab. Just removed rusted area, and manufactured repair panel my self.

Are you searching for cab corners or the rear section of the cab floor? You can get cab corners with Early Classic Enterprises or GMC Paul's. I think the Paddock also carries those parts. LMC has all the pieces to rebuild the cab but they are a little higher priced than most everyone else. Hope this helps.

If you go to the home page for this website (not the message board) you find links for lots of vendors. Here's the link for the home page if I'm not clear. http://207.44.196.117/

Wow ! I though I was the only one on Crack that was crazy enough to drill all of the spot welds out of the back wall and cab frame and fab up my own rear cab frame. Lot's of work Eh ? I kinda wish I would have bought a southern truck sometimes.

Mario, I'm not on crack, but sometimes I get an overdose of Budweiser :p Here's a couple more pics of the support. Oh yeah, it's a lot of work. I guess 70 to 80 spot welds to remove to get this critter out.

I would like to see what you could get done if you drank Bud light.

There is no patch for the rear inner corners, we have made templates that we use and cut it out of 18ga. I have templates for firewall,floor,rear wall and dash to save time when doing a customers cab.

I got the cab of the chassis and onto the garage floor,
is it ok to roll it back onto the rear of the cab so as to work on the bottom more easily ? Whould this deform anything ? |

I prefer to roll them onto the firewall, the metal is more structurally stronger there and there is less of a risk of cosmetic damage to the sheet metal
