Bitchin! I know opening the 4406 was a big deal for you, but you battled through it and now you are better for it!!
Why don't you replace your own cab corners?
Ever heard of 3m panel bond adhesive? ]
No welding required which makes rust an easier thing to beat.........
A little trick I found out is that when lining the shift cam and fork, it's best to push the whole shifting assembly all the way against the case then put a pair of vice grips on the part that sticks out where the shift motor would go thru the case. That way it keeps everything tight. With that trick I had the case back together with in 5 minutes and it seems to be shifting just fine.
As for the cab corners, I'd prefer to have them welded on. Eventually I'll have the whole truck painted
