I took this pic just the other day. Its a good cab minus the corners and floor section in these spots. I figure its a typical rust spot on these and I've used cheap aftermarket china replacement cabcorners before but with the jumping and offroading style I do I collapse the thin sheet metal. I cut the entire section out on each side(2'x2' square holes) and started to fit in them today. Im using 1/16 galvanized pieces formed to the shape I need. The cab mount will be custom as well using 1/8 plate. I just need a good starting point with a good floor to be able to weld on the new mount. I figure if I change my cab again,which I'm sure I will in the next couple years after I smash this one, i'll be able to cut this section out and transfer over to the new one.
I'll post pics tomorow of my patch job I started to weld in tonite when I get time tomorow..
