Front cab corner replacement- bracing?

I 'may' end up replacing the front passenger cowl/corner/door post on my '51...

I seem to remember seeing some pics showing how the cab can be braced to keep everything properly aligned, but I can't seem to find them now.

I would appreciate any pics, info, or advise on doing this.

Thanks- Bear

I braced front to back in the door cutouts and side to side between the front posts.


I only removed small sections at a time as I worked so I wasn't real worried about things not lining up afterwards.


You can see numerous pics I took of my cab corner repairs in my Albums. The original postings I made no longer have pic attachments that work since the site I used no longer exists.


If needed I can post them again.
