Hey i was wondering if anybody would be nice enough to send me some pictures of thier cab stripped on the inside (47-53). my cab floor and inside cowl areas are pretty far gone. before i just buy a new cab i thought id try to weld some metal in thier and get it all sealed up.pictures behind the seat were the gas tank is and inside cowl area is the places i dont really know what they originally looked like.I cant afford to buy repopd panels but have a bunch of sheet metal i plan on using. my email is [email protected] or just post some on this post would work too,

Thanks

The cab corners and cowl repair panels are a good value. They would be hard to make. Look at the repairs I made some from scratch that worked out good.

cool thanks guys i think ive got what i need. i was also wondering on the passenger side inside cowl i know thiers a hole there to let air in from the outside or something does anyone have a good shot of that, so i kinda get a understanding of what that should look like. Im thought id try out my own patches cause of the whole low funds situation,im 19 and its my first truck. been looking for a few years now and this truck was the right price at 250$ and figured it would be more work but thats why i got it.Im going for an original look but not so much an original way to get it back to stock appearing.if there little things different or off i doesnt bother me cause its my truck and will be proud of it either way.

Put up some photos of what you are working with. This is the best shot I had. http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2644075420103315458frzJNj This is where the fresh air heater hooks to pull in fresh air. There is a cover that goes over it when you aren't using that heater. It would help to see the photos.

That's brutal Jim. If anybody needs repop metal it's you.
