Center cab end braces

I have a 65 slick and it needs the center cab end braces replaced LMC part #49-9132. I'm assuming I measure back and cut the section out and either weld the new in or can they I use carrage type bolts through the floor. I'd like not to have to re-paint the floor. Any suggestens would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bill

Those are pretty simple to make and weld in. They are even easier to buy and weld in. You are correct on cutting out the old and welding in the new. be sure and get them under coated and make sure they can drain. (this is the reason they rot out)

Are you talking about the center support ends or the cab mounts? Your mention of carriage bolts is why I ask. You should be able to rosette weld without too much paint damage then you could just touch it up.
