Thoughts on Cab Repair Videos - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I just finished renting and viewing the videos on cab repair that are offered. I couldn't help but notice the guy didn't brace anything for a repair of inner\outer rockers, floor pan, cab supports and cab corners. Doesn't that seem odd?

where did you rent them?
i have heard bracing isn't necessary.......

ol Curt · 01-03-2009, 12:09 AM

I rented them from smartflix.

That's a cool link. Might have to check some of those out.

As for not bracing...who knows. I plan on bracing mine just to be sure it stays square. I would rather put in a few braces beforehand than have to try to re-square the cab.

I think I'm with you on that. If i am going to take the seat and fuel tank out, why not put a couple of braces in?

Bracing is cheap insurance. You never know when you might need it.

Yes, exactly! A lot better than buying them for $100

I have no experience with 60-66 chevy trucks but I have replaced rockers/cab corners/ floors on many many 73-87 trucks and as long as you do them 1 at a time there is no need for bracing. Jeremy
