Re: New Metal for a 72 c10

I did all of what you just said on my 1972 GMC and all the metal cost me around 375 bucks. I ended up not needing the front floor pan patch panels so I sold those here locally.

Do a forum search and double check the rocker panels. Some of them are garbage and others are pretty good. The cab corners aren't all that great, but they are workable. I am in the process of finishing up my drivers side cab corner now.

You can look at my build thread (link in signature "Rebuild of Creeping Death") to see what I've done with the metalwork. All done by me.
