Cab repair help!

Does lmc or someone make these pieces? If not what's best way to fix. Here are some pics. One pic is by the door hinge and kicker panel. The other 2 are on the top part inside door jams.

Re: Cab repair help!

Your 1st & 3rd pics are normal (from what I can tell - they are actually the same picture) - seam sealer is dry/cracked. The 'other' pic isn't normal. ouch

Re: Cab repair help!

Whoops! Here's the other pic. So the jams need to be resealed? Any suggestions down by the kick panels?

Re: Cab repair help!

"need to be resealed", that's up to you. Down by the kick panel, not sure. That looks pretty nasty. Maybe water was getting in (from above somewhere) on the inside.

Re: Cab repair help!

Lower jambs are available but not that high. You may have to build something. Here's the one I did on mine, I trimmed a little off but not much.

Re: Cab repair help!

That's what I was thinking. Thanks for the input guys. Probably would hurt to get the lower door jamb. Does the putter rocker need to be replaced first before you put new lower door jamb?

Re: Cab repair help!

How it's constructed is from the inside out. So first the inner rocker, kick panel, then lower jamb. The way the metal laps that's the only way to properly do it IMO

Check out this thread, it's Project Jezebel. Steve did similar repairs to his cab.
