I gave up trying to find replacements or a good donor.... so I am making my own. Check here

Not finished, but given a few hours this weekend, it will be and I am learning some metal working skills along the way!

You're off to a good start, I personally haven't done anything since spring on my truck due to summer being so busy. I also have a newer truck box from a super duty that I will be using the floor out of for my bed. I plan on using some scrap out of that to do some other patch work and possibly make my new cab corners.

I found a set of inner corners on eBay. I still need a pair of outside corner sheet metal.

Inners aren't an issue. classic fabrication sells them.

I'm surprised that no one has capitalized on this yet. Need a stamping machine.

I've searched high and low for usable outer corners online and in my area (Northern California). I have a buddy bodyman that was gonna barter for installing new floorpans, kick panels, steps, step risers, and inner and outer cab corners that I would provide.

What I decided now is to do it all myself and repair my corners basically like Fauj is doing. I ordered the gas kit for my Lincoln Weld-Pac 100. Bought it in '94 and have been trying to order it since.....

Here is the finished cab corner... all steel. It took several small pieces vice a few larger ones, but it's done and I can move on to a new project on the truck and there are many!

My advice is to go for it!

It can be easier than you think if you make it out of a few smaller pieces rather than try to make it all out of one piece. Looks good.
