Left 7706-L Right 7706-L Cost $65 I have the LH inner that I am not going to be using since I don't plan on removing the gas tank filler, along with a couple other parts to try and sell later when I get finished with the cab work. |
very good job, I'm learning with it for my restoration

Yea...once I had the pass side corner tacked into place...I temporarily installed the door so I could get it lined up.
I was hoping I wouldn't have to replace the whole drivers rear cab corner...but the bend radius and dimensions on the lower part of the new panel are nowhere close to being the same as original. Found this out after cutting what I thought I would need out of new panel....I have a new panel ordered from Mid Fifty...hope to have it next week when I am off again. |
Posted some of these in another thread about cab corners but here is the final corner of my cab that needed repaired.

I hope to have it ready for media blasting in next couple of weeks. |
Wow! Really nice job! I can't imagine beginning a project like yours (since I have no patience and would go nutty trying to get it done). I have to give you major props for not only doing a great job (craftsmanship wise) but for doing the job methodically and correctly. Thanks for sharing your work.
