We spent the day yesterday splitting and reforming the rockers to fit the cab. 10 hours working on the rockers is a little excessive but they really turned out great. Every one of the seams where they meet the body had to be split and welded.

3 of us worked together to hold the doors in place and align the rockers before welding them to the body. The fit is great now!

We will be taking a few days off and will get back on it on Tuesday first thing. We have between 1-1.5 days of work left getting everything ready for DP and High Build Primer.

We have to finish blending the TIG for all the spot welds.

We have to fit the bottoms of the rockers to the inner rockers.

We have to weld in a cab corner patch also.

Lastly we have to roll it on its back and blend off all the welds underneath the floors.

I want to thank my friends Tony and John for all the help and great work on the cab.
