Just wondering if anyone has any ideas where I can get some front bottom cab corners. Mine are all mangled and I would like to start the body work on a great little truck.

Thanks for any help.

Good luck. Most are rotten. Start with the usual web searches. Ebay, Willys for Sale, Willys America, Midwest Willys, etc. You might take a stab at making your own!

If someone's cab has those corners in good shape it's probably a good cab and on a good looking FC. Sorry gordon....

So there used to be a guy called "metalshaper" on youtube that made corners. Not sure if he still does.
Here is one of his videos:

I thought I read somewhere that the corners for a 50-64 Chevy truck were close.
I'm sure if you do a search for FC cab corners on this site you'll get more hits.

Thanks all for the replies. I sent the metalshaper a message. Hope he is still around?

I was just told the 46 to 53 chevy cab corners (pick up) are REALLY close to the FC rear corners. You may need to massage them a bit with an english wheel but it should save you from having to sandbag any metal for hours on end. My body guy just ordered them for my 1960 170 cab rebuild. He said it saved me sbout $2k in custom fab work. $38.99 each from Summit Racing. The part number is 480-4047-R (or L). Hope this helps someone!
