Re: Who sells good rear cab supports?

Yeah mine fit like crap too. You would almost be better off making your own out of flat sheet to be honest

Just before I coated the bottom side of my cab, I ended up fabricating the rear braces from left over .032 sheet steel. I cut out the braces and used them as templates.

I ended up ordering a pair from top banana, at $10 each I figured what the hell, I'll post up my thoughts when they show up.
