Re: Cab Corners in a Can
they also make great rocker panels, just add a little bondo then primer.
The driver side of my cab had the rockers and cab corners done this way by PO.

Re: Cab Corners in a Can
Newspaper stuffed into holes and covered with inches of bondo works wonders as well.

Re: Cab Corners in a Can
I like the repair I found when I took My truck apart tin siding pop riveted over the holes in the floor and toe board and bondoed over.......... I really don't remember doing that the first time but I guess I did back in 95-96. (High school fixes) I redid it right this time but probable for more money and time. Live and learn it is amazing looking back what the heck was I thinking

That is the sole reason why I will go over every truck I'm looking at buying with a magnet covered in tape. You never know whats hiding under paint.

Re: Cab Corners in a Can
I think the rabbit and the pancake make good body fillers. Stuff the pancake in the rust hole and the rabbit will just crawl in after it.

Re: Cab Corners in a Can
Yeah some people around here use that "Great Stuff' another thing I saw recently down the road from my house were three of them adding aluminum duct tape to fill the holes above the drip rail and a coat of bondo over that. They sold the truck.

Re: Cab Corners in a Can
Found a flattened-out metal Folgers Coffee Can pop-riveted in & coated with black roofing-mastic goopy for a floor pan repair below the battery under the back seat in a '63 VW beetle I owned. Metal rusted out around the aluminum pop rivets, and the battery darn-near fell out on the road.
I thought that one was the all-time champeen back-woods fix, but now this hi tech foam-in-a-can has come along and spoiled everything. Plus, even the Folgers cans are all plastic now. What's this new-fangled world coming to ........................ |

Re: Cab Corners in a Can
I think he is onto something there with the spray foam. I was considering completely filling some of the areas on my cab where I had replaced the sheetmetal. Areas like inside the rockers, front pillars, and the area above the windshield where I welded in the repop patch panel. How about between the inner and outer roof panels, especially behind the drip rail seam? How about inside the cab supports? My thought is: if moisture cant get in, it cant rust.

Re: Cab Corners in a Can
Most all the new cars have foam sprayed in them now. GM FORD and Chrysler as well as foreign. They use it for sound proofing. They make like 40 or 50 grades of it for different uses in cars. The stuff made in the spray cans at home depot and others is for home use not cars. They also use some foam for structural supports. Dow is using Foam in NASCAR this year

Re: Cab Corners in a Can
My PO actually took the time to weld in new outer rockers, but fixed the cab corners with spray foam, and the floor with fiberglass. Now it all has to be redone.
