cab corners available

I just removed mine and they seem really easy to re-fabricate. It won't take much body filler and these will be good to go. You can also go to Lowe's/Home Depot and buy your own can. Nothing to this body work stuff. Scott

Re: cab corners available

I'm thinking it revolves a lot more around a person's willingness to learn new skills (metal shaping) and be willing to spend the time making some rather than spending money and getting them to fit.

Some of us have way more time than money and I could easy enough dig out a scrap piece of metal from a damaged fender or hood or body part and get out my hammer and bag or stump (even if I had to do a bit of shaping on a piece of firewood to use as a "stump" and beat a piece of metal into shape in a few hours and work it on my english wheel. All it costs is my time and I am retired and as long as I get the days chores done and my wife doesn't want me to take her somewhere I have plenty of time but right now no place that I can comfortably work. It's raher hard to convince yourself to do body work when your hands hurt because they are so cold.

On the other hand a lot of folks on here don't have a lot of time to invest and every hour they can work on the truck needs to be used wisely and spending the money for a cab corner that they can fit and weld on in an hour or so works out a lot better than spending a full afternoon shaping one piece and welding it on.

Right now I am on a deadline and would like to be able to drive my 48 on July 1 and have it sorted out and ready for a road trip on Aug 1. It won't be "done" and won't be the way I planned it but it will be a legal and safe driving truck.
