Cab brace

Post by massillon preacher »

Underneath cab there is a brace support from one side of cab to the other, it is at the rear of the cab. It is pretty rusty, is there a direct replacement from lmc, npd, or mac's or do I have to fab something?

LMC has them, or they at least have the ends of the brace.

I purchased a couple several years ago from LMC and they are crap. Thinner metal and the size is not exact. They almost fit over the existing brace...

68rookie - thanks for the link. My passenger side cab corner is solid, but it's had the bejeezus beaten out of it to make an auxiliary gas tank fit, and a hole cut for the filler neck. It looks like they sell large enough sections that it would be easier to just replace mine.
