Re: Cab corners!!!

I haven't bought from them yet, but Tabco is supposed to have better quality patch panels and parts. Supposedly made in the USA??

Re: Cab corners!!!

I bought mine from Classic Parts and they were a horrible repro part. I know that there are only about 3 manufacturers of these parts but I am not sure if one is any better than another. Fortunately, in my case, my corners can just be patched instead of replaced so I intend to bend my own patches.

Re: Cab corners!!!

Got my first set from LMC. The right side was a nice piece, but the left side was a piece of junk! A lot thinner metal and small patch panel than the right. They couldn't get the left side from the same manufacture, so they credited my card. I just bought the left side through Classic Parts today. I'll let you know how it goes.

Re: Cab corners!!!

There are only two companies that make quality cab corners for these trucks.
TriPlus and Tabco. We have sold and installed both companies. They are sold by numerous vendors on this board and off. Do they fit perfect like a glove. No. neither companies do. Tabco better?? they install just as easy as Tri-plus and vice versa. When it comes down do what customers buy we sold more TriPlus than we did Tabco because of the cost differance which was not much IMO. When it comes right down to parting with the bucks the majority wanted TriPlus. We sold our remaining stock of Tabco's at the same price we sell Triplus. They all will require work.

Re: Cab corners!!!

Nothing against LMC, cause I've bought most all my stuff from them...but their cab corners do not fit well.
