GEN 1 Cab Rust and the Current Market

[yoopercharged]

Hey guys. I decided to reroute my drain tubes through the holes that @matrix243 elected to fill. I used a wire straw cleaner to hook the hoses. Once they were close enough I switched to the 90° pick to pull them the rest of the way through. Seems like this should work find but I will watch to make sure the hoses don't get clogged with debris.

Also, my driver side hose was a few inches longer than the passenger side so I don't know if the passenger side would have reached the rocker panel holes anyway.

I'm with CORONARAPTOR 100%. In the words of a great man " The question is not how far. The question is do you posess the constitution, the depth of faith, to go as far as is needed? To keep and fix the Raptor was my point in all that sorry

@MFNG did you get your cab corners fixed? I’m looking at a similar repair so interested in your story.

Not yet. Truck is almost paid off. Once I get there I’ll put that money into the repair…I think.

I’m debating what to do as I am in IL and more salt/rust; etc is to be expected.

Go Gen 2/3 aluminum, or keep the OG SVT and dive in…

Mentioned a few times here...
With my Gen 1 in Michigan, its nearly a unicorn with intact rockers and cab corners.
Also, it headed to winter storage last weekend.
Blasting through snow looks like a good time, but the salt and chloride eating the truck up would bumm me out

 

[MFNG]

Yeah but donuts in the snow are so much fun in the Raptor!

If its getting paid off and thats all the rust you have. Id definitely fix it over getting another payment. Thats just me though. I also feel the salt pain and have to drive in the winters on the N.East
