Post Cab corner replacement - how to hold 'em down?

Before welding 'em in.

I am looking for ideas for holding the cab corners in place so I can tack weld them in. Can't use the visegrip type clamps, especially on the back side, and could only use one of them at the front (in the door jamb, near where the rear of the rocker attaches).

I can hold it in place using 2 or 3 hands and it fits tight.

BTW: I am not using the full patch piece; I cut off the top 4" (just below the body line) partly because it didn't match up with the existing cab indents and partly because the corner was only rotted at the bottom 5".

Anyone use 'clecko-locs' with a backing piece of sheetmetal?

Thanks,
Rick
