Oh man do I sympathize for ya. Especially when it comes to companies that sell parts for our trucks. You may need to reach out to those guys and offer some website development in exchange for parts! The good ol' barter system!

Wouldn't be the first time I've bartered web slinging skills for parts.

Re: Project 69SWB

Picked up a little something from the state of MO today. Not quite ready to attach them yet but it'll be a nice finishing touch when I'm ready as well as gives me some inspiration to get things done!

Re: Project 69SWB

The cab corners from GMCPauls came in... They are a little narrower than the LMC cab corners and they don't have near as many die marks/dents on them. However after tac welding them on they still flare out in the back due to being too wide. I'm just gonna go ahead and cut 1/4 or so out of the width and make them fit like they're supposed to. I'm really aggravated. I've parused through countless build threads and not seen anyone have to do this... Don't understand. Hung a door tonight and it lines up fine so I know without a doubt the rear pillar is positioned correctly. Just for the record both sets of corner are made in Taiwan. :-/

Thanks Scott, Tabco's are made in USA? Have you put them on your truck? I tried to order from their website before I bought this last set but kept getting errors.

Re: Project 69SWB

Yes, they are USA made. I used the right hand one on a previous cab and it worked great, I ordered both sides. So I have just the left side leftover.

You'll need to call in the order, that's what I ended up doing.

Re: Project 69SWB

Would you mind taking a pic when you get time of the side of your truck where the cab corner and door meet? The body line on the cab corners (both sets) appears to slope downward on the rear side. Didn't know if that is how it's supposed to be or not.

Re: Project 69SWB

nevermind.. found one of yours on your build thread.



And it looks pretty straight to me.

NICE WORK! Hope mine looks that straight when I'm done.

Re: Project 69SWB

I sold the cab and lost all the pictures I took of the cab when I restored my computer to factory setting. Sorry. The cab corner is day and night from the LMC one. It went on without any issues.

Re: Project 69SWB

The cab corner I put on was on the red cab in my build thread. There is a picture of the right side I replaced but it isn't a very good picture

Re: Project 69SWB

I guess I'm gonna bite the bullet and order ONE MORE SET of cab corners... this time from Tabco. I'd take you up on that drivers side but it's 3 hours to KC and I don't want to hassle you with shipping it to me.

Re: Project 69SWB

While I'm waiting on my next set of cab corners I figured I get the piece cut from my donor cab and I'm glad to say this piece is gonna fit like a glove. I figure that's the difference between original and aftermarket parts. I still have plenty of trimming to do on this piece but its close.
