Although I can make the cab corners, I don’t think anybody would want to pay what it would cost to make them. Because of their size and shape, stamping dies would be expensive to make, especially since there is a left and a right. I could make them, and I did look at the NOS Northern corners I have to see if there was a practical way for me to do them, but I don’t think I would even come close to breaking even. Hand shaping is the only practical way and it’s not practical to do in volume. I know a lot of the pickup guys need them, I was one of them till I found corners, so I will take another look and see what I can come up with.
