My problem with this is there are multiple bends on this part that are in un-accessible locations for drilling spot welds. The ends of this part weld to a 45deg pieces behind the outside corner.
I'm sure I can flip the cab over & torch this part out.
I MAY could just cut the center of this part out, then fab the new one a little larger to slip over the leftovers on each end. Nothing says it has to be xactly like the one that came out, right?
Besides, the oem one failed miserably!
