Is there a step by step for 73-87 rockers?
Is there a step by step for 73-87 rockers? I've done a couple 67-72, but I have some questions on my 87, which needs rockers and cab corners. I've been rooting around, but havent come up with anything. Any help is appreciated. TIA, Chip.

Only thing I might add to the build shown, first thing I do is either bolt in or tack weld a brace from one door post to the other which helps hold things where they were before the rockers were cut out. Also, instead of overlapping the joints I make small steel tabs to bridge between the old/new sheet metal and mount them under the sheet metal with 1/8 inch pop rivets. That way the weld is a butt and gets the new metal exactly lined up with the old instead of the overlap. Then I blow out the rivets with the torch and weld up the holes. (I weld with gas rig.)
