cab corners

i need to replace my cab corners and well as some of the cab floor on my 76 c10....has anyone ordered from LMC and done this repair? any advice? (can you write a little step by step if possible....)

Plus LMC sells inner cab corners, outer cab corners, and outer cab corner full? can anyone tell me what the differences are here?

Re: cab corners

I recently ordered a rocker panel, full outer cab corner, and an inner cab corner. They are in pretty good condition. The difference between those three corners is that the INNER cab corner, is practically the inner portion that's under the truck/in your cab that you can't really see. The cab corner is just the corner, and the FULL or EXTENDED cab corner is the corner, plus some extra length, width, and height.

Heres a post from Kieth Seymore in his re-build thread. It has some good step by steps, and some info on panel adhesive.

Re: cab corners

I put LMC cab corners on my truck. Just outers, all of the inner sheet metal was good. I did not take pictures though. They worked out pretty well. The part inside the door is the hardest part to get right, took some metal shaping. the rear of the cab corner does not match the existing cab perfectly also. Other than that they worked out well. Was a lot easier that I thought it would be. I just butt welded mine, but you could roll a lip for a stronger weld.
