    Does any one know if there is a taller cab corner repair panel than 12in? I need to repair a cab corner that has been put in by a complete HACK. Instead of trimming the repair panel he cut the cab to fit the patch. Then he did the worst job of welding I have ever seen. Im no expert but this is bad. Any help is welcome I would like to avoid replaceing the entire back lower panel.
    Thanks

    Hey,

    Is the area of the replacment panel with all the shape unbutchered &
    sound? Can't you just cut out the bad welds and add additional metal
    around the patch?

    I dont really want two weld seams. Also the inner cab corners needed replaced and they welded the new outer to the old rusty inner with about ten passes of weld bead so the whole job is unsatisfactory.

    Hey S.T.P.,

    I haven't seen a complete repopped B post for an AD truck, only
    corner patch panels 6" tall.
    Perhaps a doner cab partial clip from a dry cab will be your answer
    if you don't want to fab your own parts.
