Cab floor brace support
« on: December 04, 2022, 07:54:57 AM »
What’s involved in replacing this cab floor brace support? It looks like more than the two bolts. Some spot welding? My passenger side is great, the drivers side is rotted around where the support bolt goes through.

Forgot the pic, but most know what I’m referring to.

Take out inner fender, loosen body mounts, jack up cab, cut, drill, grind, repair, patch, & weld all associated parts, lower cab, measure shim, adjust. Use rust protection on all areas. Should only take like 5-10 minutes.  8)
