    I have a 84 GMC 1500 with a rusted out firewall, the rest of the cab is in great shape. Can I but a firewall repair panel or will I have to replace the cab??:-(

    how much of the fire wall is rusted out? how well can you fabricate? if it is a small part then i'm sure you could fabricat a small piece. you might be able to get the firewall of of a nother truck and take the fire wall off your truck and weld in the other firewall.
    hope that helps
