Cab corners

[Varty Yo]

Does anyone make replacement cab corners for a 45?

Well, they're no longer available from Toyota, from what I can tell.

Dammit! Ive been searching and cant seem to find aftermarket one's

A few guys on here have made their own. It's not that difficult.

Yours don't look that bad. The inside lip of the floor that is poking through is probably in good shape and the bottom lip of the wall looks good, so all you need is a flat piece of steel rolled around the corner.

Give it a shot. Roll a piece of steel around a pipe of similar diameter and cut to fit.

And make a flange and weld it on without causing the patch to warp or shrink

Tornado found one at SOR a couple years ago.

Shows unavailable, but you may give them a call.

Digging around a bit on SOR's site, I see they now list patch panels, made to order:

I wonder if they could fabricate the 45 tub rear quarter/rocker?

The rocker up to the door sill really is nothing at all to fabricate.

Here are the factory replacement cab sides. Left is 64012-90315, and right is 64011-90315

The rocker up to the door sill really is nothing at all to fabricate.

On mine I replaced the rocker, which, as you note, is a simple piece of bent sheet. The problem I discovered later on was that the rust hiding in the seam around the door opening lower lip, despite all efforts at treatment with anti-rust chemicals, crept back a couple of years later and the rust re-appeared along the weld seam. I wish I would have replaced the rocker and molded portion along the lower opening for the door, along with the inner rocker, instead of just the rocker panel. The portion along the lower door opening is more difficult to fabricate and I avoided doing it, something I now regret.

Surely Kevin (AWL_TEQ) can/does make these. I'd PM him as I'd bet he would be keen to give it a go even if he doesn't.

I made some for mine. Its all in my build thread. Just a piece of 16 ga , maybe 10" tall , rolled to a 6" radius. I TIG welded the bottom flange on. If I were you, and the rust really is just at the spot welds to the floor, I would just cut a 3" wide stirp out parallel to the floor. Then take a 3" wide strip of 16ga, bend it over your knee to match and weld it in. With careful grinding you won't know its there. Well, you will but no one else will. Can't see that from the inside. You'll have to rust proof it all of course.
