Thumbs up Tabco patch panels

I have used the tabco cab floors, floor supports, cab corners, kick panels and pillar patch panels, they were galvanized steel. All the Tabco parts I used fit well and said they're made in USA.

If they have repaired the tooling on the rockers and cab corners for 67-72's they are pretty good quality. I started out selling TABCO and still buy odds and ends from them.

I used the Tabco rockers and I got them from J.C. Whitney. I have no complaints. Felt nice and heavy and fit perfect. They did say made in the U.S.

I ordered some bed floor halves before Thanksgiving. Still not here yet. The folks are nice. We'll see about the quality when/if they get here
