cab brackets

I want to remove these brackets, wondering though if it would weaken the cab. What have you guys done with these?

Re: cab brackets

Looks like a good spot to trap water, I’d make the bracket shorter on one side

Yes
The 67 and 68's have them and they do cause issues if dirt gets back there.
