Doing some cab repair for a buddy of mine and also converted it to a big window, first one I have done, knocked it out in just over a day so they are not terrible to do.

It’s an original inner cab when I did mine I used panel adhesive on the upper seem and spot welded the rest using an original inner cab the kits are a lot of work and don’t look as good

That’s an excellent video I spot welded mine at the lower part of the body if I was to ever do it again I would use the Panel bond like they did in the video one thing I did learn from this is that you can buy an aftermarket inner panel now they were not available when I did mine cool write up
