Front cab mount cracked.

Front cab mount cracked.
not to mention its rusted in two. I am going to replace them but needed to know if they are spot welded to the cab, and the door post were the side piece comes up? I couldnt see any spot weld locations.
I just finished pulling of the outer skin which was badly damaged. (pics)

Josh, New stamped steel front cab corners are sold by several venders. I installed a pair in my 49. They are a somewhat complex 3 dimensional piece but I found that the fit was decent. It is not something that you are going to do with the cab on the truck. I did it at the same time as a floor replacement. I don't know if you could even get it in without at least partial floor replacement. Not difficult but not for the faint of heart. Normally my suggestion would be to defer that final fix and drive the truck until you decide to do a magor restoration on the truck.
Edit: After reviewing your pictures it looks like you may have allready started down that slippery slope however.
