Keven,
Are your cab corners rotten thru?

Terrell wrote:Keven, When I redid my cab corners it was a bit tricky as the sheet metal was nearly rusted thru from the inside. The drain holes were plugged and trapped h2o and dirt that was about one inch thick in there. I opened up the drain holes a little, used a pressure sprayer to flush everything out. When I tried to weld the pin holes the 18 gauge metal just disappeared, I ended up making backing plates from 18 gauge, wedged them in place and filled the holes from the outside then ground the corners back into the correct shape. Ended the process with Eastwoods frame coating rattle can ( that comes with a 18" tube and nozzle) to coat everything on the inside. Has held up for a couple of years now.
