Wiper motor rust....

Anybody ever have the entire mounting metal around the wiper motor rust out? Is there a replacement panel for this, or am I pretty much on my own, either rebuild or buy new? I've not started taking it apart to find out what's REALLY involved in it, but it looks to be not fun.

You have two options since there are no patch panels. New cab or cut a section from a donor cab and weld it in as long as the rest of the cowl area isn't that bad.

It's a fairly common problem i guess because we have shipped over 30 of these sections in the last couple of years.

the upper part of the cab where the heater bolts in is rusted out, nearly gone...the floor of the cab's got rust (I could floorpan it, but it sounds like I need a new cab and be done with it)
