Cab support making me upset - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ok, is it just me , or did i get a bad set of rear cab support braces. I bought them from the local parts/ resto place and they fit like junk....I had to come inside for a sec and calm down, the things don't line up at all, i had to cut them down the middle to even take up the 1/8th of an inch to wide , they were,and the flanges where they meet the inside rocker are not long enough,and not thick enough.......Where did everybody else get their's from?

i got mine from a local body parts dealer
fit nice
did you get the ones that are supposed to slide over or replace the support.?

some pics might help

powerbench · 03-28-2010, 07:17 PM

naw these were not suppose to be slip on's

hddavis · 03-28-2010, 07:31 PM

the slip ons are wider and shorter and not as thick i bet they gave you the wrong ones

powerbench · 03-28-2010, 07:34 PM

I check there part number online , and it says they aren't slip ons...this stinks on a sunday when your trying to get stuff done....of course they're closed today.....

threeonthetree · 03-28-2010, 07:35 PM

yeah im not sure.
i got the ones that replaced the support and they fit great. perfect length and width
coulda had a bigger lip on the rocker side.. but overall nice fit.

Who did you buy them from? I bought some recently via a supplier on the mainland and they were 100% a perfect match fit for my 68...

They probably just sent you the wrong ones. Its easy for someone to do that when picking the order. We don't even sell the things for your reasons. I would see if they will exchange them but if they won't at least your aren't out too much but if they screwed up they shoud send you the OEM style

powerbench · 03-29-2010, 12:05 AM

bought them from KMS.....said screw it and played with them till i got them to fit ...too much time , but they look ok ...i guess

TOO much time, and fit OK, you guess.

Naw not for me. Be one thing if I had the equipment, shop and such. But if they don't fit and look right, they sent the wrong ones or their equipment is out of spec. I would have sent them back.

ditto, and then I would buy the correct ones from a board vendor.

I should have just got them off a vendor from here, but i bought them like a year ago.I know better for the next time.
