Re: Blazer rust tips (floor/rocker boxes)

So it gets worse. I took the body off the frame to address the chassis first and the frame is diamond, bent, cracked and hacked. So we are looking for another chassis at this point.

The good is between the factory frame drawings and what's left of this chassis I drafted up a body jig that I can mount to my chassis table to help align everything. After rust repair I will use the body jig to mount the body to my rotisserie. I also picked up a 71 Blazer for myself so I can do the metal work on it using the jig after the 72 is off it.

As of right now we will be getting the chassis lined up and then ordering the replacement floors and patch panels.

Since I don't have much left can you guys fill me in on what panels I need to purchase to do a complete floor. Do I need the cab to bed transition piece if I'm buying complete cab and bed floors?

Thanks,
Ryan
