Who has the best replacement Cab Corners? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm looking for some nice heavy gauge cab corners and patch panels for my '58 GMC. I though there was a guy on the forum that sold some quality repair parts.

I just used some from dynacorn and right side fit perfect, left took a little tweaking but still fit pretty good.

Wes isn't the least expensive but he hunts down first rate stuff for his store.

I've used both dynacorn and Triplus and the Dyacorn right side fits much better. The left was about the same for both makers. The steps are far better from Dynacorn but cost more.

I think Triplus was the one I originally saw.

I used the inner and outer cab corners from classicparts.com like stated above the right side fits great the left side you will have to make it fit.

I got my cab corners and steps from Dreamers near Seattle, I think they got the steps from Keyparts and the corners from some place called Counter something can’t read because they put their sticker over top. Anyways the biggest thing I noticed was the body lines don’t lineup. I got the very bottom line to lineup but the next line doesn’t so I still have to cut the corner massage it some more to fit better. I am not sure what piece is right or wrong I just have to deal with it now.

Thanks for letting me know...that's what I'm trying to avoid!

Most sellers, such as Brothers, have a cab corner that they call a "Tall" corner. These are not necessarily any taller but they are made in the USA and are of much higher quality than the overseas products. The fitment issue with the rocker not matching is not an issue with the USA product. They are more money but worth it in my opinion.
