Seems like somewhere in my memory I remember seeing someone say you can make cab corners out of roof corners? is that true? I'm trying to stick with original metal as much as I can, have a cab that has donated most of its usable parts and the rest is swiss cheese or junk. Just thinking it may be better than stampings from China.

You could theoretically make cab corners from flat metal, but it would be a lot of work. The roof corners would at least get you a good start on the profile. I just eyeballed the top and bottom of my cab and the contours don't look that different. Can't hurt to try. Let us know how it turns out for you.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
