Door Pillar ?

[twoskies]

Hey

got a new door pillar, got it cut to fit pretty close, got the old one out of scrap bucket to measure bolts and noticed its like a double wall compared to replacement, question is what are you guys doing

welding a washer would work but im gonna do that before i weld it up.lol

also does anyone have a template for the bolt holes i can download, and ive read front two bolts go in from front and back or rear go opposite, ?, mine are gone, so no reference

any other suggestions

Thanks

I would either save the support brace you have, or buy replacements. That brace is spot welded around the fender bolt hole and then bolted at the back end.

So in these pictures are kind of how everything fits, in the first one the outer floor is on the outside of the floor support. From there the door pillar goes on the outside of the outer floor, with the kick panel in between them on the top side. You can see where the factory spot welds were on my door pillar/fender mount. The fender mount brace is bolted against the floor support on the very inside.

Hey

got my door pillar in ok , got the outer floor in and cab supports, lot of grinding to do, but here's an issue, the outer floor is 1/8 inch short compared to passenger side outer floor, might not be that big of a deal but the rocker spot welds to it, i could cut it out and buy a new one(although everything fits right now)or weld a piece of 1/2 inch square to it to have something for the rocker to weld to


any suggestions

thanks
