Find a dealer that sells Dynacorn cab corners. They fit much better

Re: 55-59 Cab Corners?
unless stated otherwise, Brothers uses Counterparts usually, chineese.
some retailers will specify a "Deluxe cab corner" or something similar, for like $50 more. those are usually the USA version, Classicparts.com specifies the deluxe as "American Version"... Right Cab Corner Left Cab Corner Im not sure what there shipping policies are outside the USA Good Luck! |

Re: 55-59 Cab Corners?
Anyone reliably know if the gauge of metal is heavier with the American made than the foreign made?

Re: 55-59 Cab Corners?
Not sure if this is true in every case, but my local parts store told me that if the part has the black coating on it it is foreign made. Made in USA will be plain steel with no coating.

Re: 55-59 Cab Corners?
I bought mine from Mar-K in the late 90's and did not have any fitment issues, same thickness as original and make in US. Only complaint was that the bottom "hemiphere" on one was wrinkled from the stamping. You only see it laying on your back under it, I just figured only drunks and the pedestrians I run over would see it so no big deal. My build thread shows the install.

I bought mine from Chevy Duty and they are from Keyparts....look to be of good quality and the rocker molding looks to be of the correct size too,
