Cab Corners
Oh my god what have I done :-(! I have a 77 F150 4X4 and I cut out the old ones and welded in the new ones. When i welded them in I matched the bottom and the top of the cab corners with the side of the truck and they were fine. My problem is that after a while of looking at my work i noticed that the middle of the cab corner did not perfectly contour with the side of the truck. I was wondering if there was a realatively easy way to fix this or if i should re do it or just leave it the way it is. It is not too bad it is about 3/16" in at the worst point.
Ya I know I shoulda checked them better but i am still learning. Any help would be appreciated.

I went through this with my '70!
But they will be fine.I don't know what to tell you.You could cut them out in a new spot,beat 'em them mud it.(i wouldn't)Or go w/ it!
Thats sad with all that hard work.I know!
I had contuour problems all the way through,some of it or all of it was because of the corners i used.They cost 19.95 a peice and i got what i paid for!They worked out in the end but it was fun to say the least.

Thanks. I think that i will leave them the way they are rather than butchering them over again. No mud for this truck
I am just going to restore it 100% original with the exception of a dash mounted tach. It's just too bad i think I am making too much of it but every time i look at it it drives me nuts. Oh well once i get it painted it might take my focus off it. Now just to get that blasted race trac moulding.
