Oops, I guess that would help, huh? I'm located near Dallas, TX.

Might also give Mike's Bump and Grind out of Webster/Houston. He does work on these trucks and carries good stuff. Depending on how much you order he's close enough that you can pick them up and save on shipping.

Ooh, thanks. I'll definitely be ordering from MB&G.

A couple of related questions....I need to replace 3 of my 4 cab supports, a good sized floor section on the drivers side, and both rockers and cab corners...can I do this with the cab still on the frame as long as I brace everything?

Also, sort of a chicken or the egg question...which piece goes in first? For the drivers side (worst section of the cab) I'll be using the outer floor section that extends 3 or 4 inches into the floor area and has the integrated inner rocker panel. I would assume that I need to:

1. Install the outer floor section

2. Then install the floor section.

3. Then install the front cab supports.
