Re: Front Cab Support, use OE or Slip On?

On here you will get lots of opinions...

I put an entire floor, outer rockers, corners, patches on the inner kick panels, and lower A pillars on my cab. It wasn't nearly as rusted as your appears when I started, but lots of holes showed up when media blasted.

It actually is less welding, and less overall time to do the whole floor than to piece in all the parts. So, you pay a few hundred more for the floor, but the cab supports and inner rockers are already attached, so it saves a bunch of welding and time.

At least that's the way I felt about it. Budget will determine what you do. But, if you're either learning to weld or paying somebody to do it, it may actually cost less to do the entire floor.

Either way, you'll likely wind up doing what I did.... Lower kick panel patches (below the vents) and all the rest. Hope your air box for the vents is sound, as well as the roof.

Good Luck! Stay with it, and it looks like you've got good help!
