I have a 54 Chev 2 ton dump with this problem and not being an autobody man was wondering if this is easy to correct should I decide at some future point to paint the truck. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | If the cowl is not rusted out, most of them are, a good body man may be able to "pull" it back out. If not, an outer cowl panel may be in order.....and be sure the door check is in good shape or it will swing wide and happen again! | | | | | Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 2,168 A teacher, but always an apprentice. | | A teacher, but always an apprentice.
