Incase you cut to high or something.  Another good tip is to keep test fitting the new cab corner as you are cutting the old one off. Measure twice, cut once.  Tack corners on first and make sure it's exactly where ya want it before ya start welding. Also let the metal cool as much as possible to avoid warping from too much heat. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2002 Posts: 91 Member | | Member Joined: Jul 2002 Posts: 91 | I just did the job and I was supprised how easy it was.
check out my web site, I have a few pictures from this process. I did not weld the corners. I used a new product called Duramix and actually glued them in. My local Chevy dealer- body shop adviced me to go this route. They explained they barerly use the welder for non structual pieces. | | |
