Cab Corners? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Does one of the vendors sell a cab corner that is bigger side to side or in particular, wraps farther around the back? I need to put one on my passenger side to finish up, but the rust extended further around the back than the other side. I think I bought he other one from Classic Parts, but another like it wouldn't come close to covering the space.

I can't say for sure, but I'm thinking they're all the same. You might have to extend the corner with some 18ga to take care of the rust. Unless you can find a cab to cut that piece out of. I had to do that on a '67 I'm working on to fix the mess the PO made trying to scab in a cab corner.

I bought 3 for my 64 GMC---None of them fit worth a damn!
3 different suppliers!
None were big enough!
And none were shaped right!

I just got cab corners from Tx Firefighter, he got them from Classicparts.com and one was a good one and one was the bad one, they looked just like this pic from 65Custom's thread

I called classic and they happily sent me another to match the good one. I'm not 100% sure, but I think the smaller one may be for the 67-72's actually..........
here are the pics of mine
