Rusted firewall
I have a 72 Chevy long bed project that I am working on. I had the frame blasted and painted, all new suspension parts installed. The motor and tranny has been rebuilt and in. Now comes the fun part, the cab. There is severe rust in the firewall and other areas. I found and purchased replacement body parts for everthing except the firewall. I cannot find parts for it anywhere. Is there a way to fabricate metal to repair this? Does anyone have photos or examples?
thanks for any informaiton or photos. |

Re: Rusted firewall
Welcome to the board.
 Keep an eye on the parts board, Quite a few cabs get parted for patches.

Re: Rusted firewall
 from Lake County California! How are your rocker panels, cab corners, drip rail, cowl area and floor pans? If the answer is not good, look for a new cab.
