Driprail replacement
How hard is it?
It's disappointing, my cab is completely solid, minus the tiny spots in the floor corners, the cab corners themselves are hard as rock, along with rockers and cab supports. My driprails are damn near gone... Anyone have a thread on it? |

Re: Driprail replacement
Not hard at all, Just drill out the spot welds and weld the new ones back on. Although I don't know who makes replacements. I was able to sand blast mine and weld them back on.

Re: Driprail replacement
I got a pair of repro's from Classic industries for $20 a piece. I haven't tried to install them yet so not sure what to expect.

Re: Driprail replacement
I've done donor top replacements without much problems. Sometimes you don't know what there's going on behind the driprail!
