Re: 57gmcuk
I the started on the rear cab corners. As it was only the bottom that had gone I thought I would just replace the bottom few inches. I started on the divers side after cutting the corner out and cutting the patch panel to match. I found the width of the lip on the rear is narrower on the reproduction panel than the original. So I had to re weld the patch panel back together and re cut the corner. At some point the cab has been caved in and instead of pulling the metal right out they added about a inch of filler. So from the top of the patch panel was a inch gap to the existing cab metal. A lot of beating later and I had it close enough to weld.
I then moved to the other rear cab corner which was easy in comparison to the first but I think if I did it again I would try the deluxe corners as this corner took a lot of adjusting to get right.
