i'd either find another cab or just patch the holes and call it good enuf till i could find a better cab,it actually ends up saving a ton of time $$ and effort
also: i'm pretty almost certain that the medium duty truck cabs have different front cab mounts that the light dutys (f100 -350's)do

I can't agree more. The overachiever perfectionist me hates to have anything halfway done right, but sometimes you have to weigh the costs vs the outcome. So some fiberglass patchwork is gunna be good 'nuf for this job.Whateverman wrote: i'd either find another cab or just patch the holes and call it good enuf till i could find a better cab,it actually ends up saving a ton of time $$ and effort
