Rickybobby0409 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I am trying to put back together my 88 R686st cab. It was laid over on the passenger side. I bought a new door and both windshields but need to know the best way to bend the piece between door and passenger windshield. Any suggestions Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/42328-need-help-with-88-r686st-cab/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmyb Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Ok, let me start by saying im in no way a professional at this.1, You could try using a porta power and pushing off the opposite side. Id use a plank of wood to share the load on opposite pillar to avoid bending that one.2, Or another way id try is to park next to a solid structure, a well built shed or a bit of machinery and try pulling it with a chain and binder, or rachet strap.3, You could cut it out and replace with one off another cab if its pretty bad.Hopefully someone else here might chip in with a bit more knowledgable answer. Maybe post some pics, it might help get the ideas flowing. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/42328-need-help-with-88-r686st-cab/#findComment-308578 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtymilkman Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 This is the part of a rebuild I'd let an actual bodyman handle. The right guy can do amazing things cheapper, quicker and better.

Vladislav Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 If you're going to cut off any bent area to replace with a donor piece you should first correct the damage to the general original shape.
