Cab Corners: I was asked if I wanted extended or slip on??

So, what's the deal? My 86's cab corners are not horrible by any means, but they do need to be replaced.

The "extended" ones are 16 x 20 inches, not sure on the slip on ones...

I guess I'm just worried that the extended ones would be overkill, I suppose I could just cut off what I don't need.

x2 on that. I've run into a problem like that, and I thought to myself why didn't I just spend the extra money and get more then I needed.

Got the extended ones, had to cut to the size I needed but either way they were installed this past week!

It's a lot easier to cut it off than add it on. Remember, measure twice, cut once.
