[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 7536340, member: 718"] Most have. I had to repaint my 590's cab roof but it was certainly made of thick sheet steel. The big rust points on that age of cab, whether MF500 or Ford **00 which were both made side by side by GKN at Telford, were the many faricated and welded pressed steel enclosed box sections. Most have rusted out long ago. You won't find cabs like that being made these days and most of that type were phased out in the early 1990's in favour of extruded tube structural frames with sheets attached as a single skin. This change was made specifically due to corrosion issues making the earlier type unfit for purpose in terms of long term structural integrity. [/QUOTE]
