Question 54 Cab Corners

Hi everyone. I'm going to buy some cab corners this week and I am looking at purchasing from Dennis Carpenter Parts. They seem to have the best price but I was wondering about their quality. I remember seeing a few posts and pics of some corners that didn't line up correctly (the indention) and since I'm new to this whole welding/body work thing and not as tallented as some of the guys on here I want to be sure I'm getting quality parts the first time around.

Anyone order corners from DC and where there any issues?

Thanks,
Rodney

I think all of the patch panels are made by the same overseas company, just sold by many here. That said, it's just shopping around to find the better price. I got lucky and only needed the lower portion of the patch, so I didn't have to match the indentions, but others have had problems in this area. But even the curve at the bottom is not "correct".

I was under the impression that there were a couple of manufactures of these parts. I should also be able to get away with not cutting into the indention because my rot is also lower down on the corner. I guess I will order them and see what happens.

Thanks for the response.

From other replies over time most if not all cab corners and other sheet metal repair panels need some ''fine tuning''.
I suspect that some do fit better than others though.

Cab corners

I got mine quite a while ago but also got floor sections and front corners. Seemed to fit nicely. I looked up their info from my receipts and checked the internet and they're still in the same place. Here's the info:

Well, thanks for the input. I did order them this morning from Dennis Carpenter before I read these last couple of posts so I am now going to have to see what I get. I'll let you all know how it turns out when they come in. It should be fun ((fingers crossed))!
