yay! my rockers don't fit!

[68_GMC_910]

LOL


so i ripped the driver's side apart today (first day of the year warm enough to work without freezing my arse off) to put the new panels on it and YAY! there seems to be a gap between where the rocker and the panel it should weld against... something like a 2"? gap almost right where the sill plate bolts onto. I was thinking this may be related to me taking the door off that side but i looked on the other side with the door still on and it looks like i'll have the same problem on that side.

the other problem seems to be one rocker is slightly smaller than the other... it seems to taper down...? there's definitely a difference in shape between the two rockers... weird. maybe someone just stepped on the little one and i just gotta bend it back?

oh, and i tried to take the rear bumper off today with a nice big impact wrench my dad got from work and much to my surprise, even with the help of a lot of WD40, the bolts holding the bumper on will not even turn a little. it's insane. i was worried this wrench was gonna rip my arms off (or at least cause some kind of pain or blood when it rips the bolt from the frame) but it seems to be really wimpy in the face of the mighty GMC 910... LOL, i mean really, really wimpy. it ain't got shi*t on those little bolts.

well, out comes the gas-axe i guess.
