hey tommy

the truck seems pretty solid without them, but you're right they are a pretty serious piece of metal. i think the cab is plenty stiff without them. it may be a bid noisier since the panel is a bit less rigid over the distance from the floor to the upper panel but a little sound deadener should take care of that easy enough. but again as far as structure is concerned, i see no reason to worry.

oh and thanks for the ups strodder
