    Does anyone know of a source for quality replacement cab corners for the '53-56 F100's? Or are they all made from the same factory?

    I have the Taiwan made versions from LMC, and the fit and finish is less than stellar. I can make them work, but I would rather not if there is a better option.

    Thanks,

    Look at Mid-Fifties. They advertise that they sell a superior cab corner patch panel.

    I used cab corners from Mid-Fiftys.They weren't perfect but with a little work they turned out ok.I don't think there are any patch panels that fit out of the box.

    I used the lmc ones... they took a bit of work to fit. They had lots of extra material, enough that i made my front cab corners out of.

    Mid Fiftys work. All patch panels will require some tweaking. I think they sell 2 different grades.
