Re: Rear cab panel replacement?

Since you have to take it apart anyhow it might be best to fit the doors, brace the cab and pull the panel off to see what you have before pressing on. It would mean a few extra days shipping time before putting it back together but you may be better off doing it that way before finding out there is possibly a lot more rust than the eye shows right now.

My ongoing truck projects:
48 Chev 3100 that will run a 292 Six.
71 GMC 2500 that is getting a Cad 500 transplant.
77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.

Re: Rear cab panel replacement?

Good point. I do need to get the doors adjusted correctly and that will provide something else to line the new panel up with.
