Then Pandora's Box opened up last night. I removed the cab corner and realized the previous work was sub-par and they had only fixed what you could see. The Inner Rocker/Inner Cab Corner was gone. So I removed the rocker panel to do more investigating. The lower A-pillar was also trash. Wish I would have known because I would have ordered all the replacement parts but Im on a time crunch and no time for that with holiday shipping and all. I will repair what I can and need to and strip, POR-15/prime-paint everything. So I broke out the sheetmetal and brake and went to town. I made the back seperate from the front inner rocker so I could slide it in behind the b-pillar. And I hate grinding inside so Im going to buzz the welds down when I can pull it outside, hopefully this weekend then put rocker and cab corner on.
It had one of the overlapping cab support panels but it was just bolted on, Ha!
Fitting Back Piece
Inner welded in:
A-pillar piece I made. Dont make fun of my nyloks, I was out of regular nuts. So I welded these on and then ground the nylon part off.
Hung the door and started refitting the rocker. They did such a terrible job replacing the rocker I was able to get it off without drilling one hole.
Not too bad for a nights work.
