patches gone wild

well the rag joint exploded on me this morning when i went to head out, how in the hell did someone get a new rag in this if the column is about an 1/2-1 in out of alignment. now got a pissy gear box on top of that, going to have to try an get this cab up an inch or something. i also see now why the gas petal would drop when this shifts, why just tac on the motor mount bracket. an how someone thought bondo would fix rust, this cab is toast may be better to get another because this one is going to need the hole floor.

Ouch. Hurts just lookin' at the pics. Get the cab mount panals from DC not LMC. I've read a bunch of bad info on those cheap LMC ones. Good Luck.

that would not be a bad ideal if there was something left of the floor pan to mount them too, after i get my other truck up i can focus on making a hole new floor pan. right now my floor boards are stoop signs an other random pieces of metal mixed with rust out.

Well, I almost went with the "where I stand" and kidded with ya. Decided now is not the time. (think Fred Flintstone) If the floor's that bad it's got to be all over the place in the usual spots. Sounds like you need a used cab muchacho.

X2 definitely needs a new cab. You'll be so much further ahead with a new cab.
Hopefully you didn't spend more on buying this one, then you spent when you bought your other one.
