Purchasing Repair panels, have a few questions

So I am going to be putting in an order with Goodmark Industries for my repair panels for the cab of my 67'. I know that I need outer and inner rockers, cab corners, front and rear cab supports. I know that the front portion of the floor needs some work as well as well as the kick panels where the vents are.

My question is, I see that Goodmark has whats called outer floor extension. What exactly is this. Is it just the first few inches of the floor right by the door and includes inner rockers or would you have to put inner rockers on as well? And then I am a bit confused on what panels exactly I should get to repair the front floor and kick panel area, should I just get the kickpanel, front floor, and pillar. Im sorry for the seeminly ignorant questions, just want to make sure I get all the right parts because I am doing this alone and know no one personally that has ever repaired one of these cabs. Thanks in advance and keep on truckin

Todd

Re: Purchasing Repair panels, have a few questions

I haven't bought one yet, but I have been looking at those. They are the inner rocker and the first couple of inches of floor inside the door jamb already assembled. Sounds like a great thing to me, as long as they fit well.

Take a pic and measure the amount of rust and most guys here can tell you if the The panels will cover it

No need to replace the inner if using the outer floor extension. It is the inner fender plus about 3.5in into the floor. Their have been some post on it the body section. I would go their and look. I personally like the part and don't have much problem installing them but it depends on your skill level.

You will have to cut out your cab corners to install and some of your A-Pillar.
If They are fine you will not want to use this panel in its entirety. Its more for cabs where these parts are gone as well. You just use enough to fix the rust. ie) if you corners are fine and just rusted in front just cut the panel in the back ahead of the Rear pillar.
ANy questions pm us or just ask here. We do this stuff for a living

Re: Purchasing Repair panels, have a few questions

How much do those cost versus the individual inner and outer panels ? That looks like what I need when I have some spare funds.

They range in prices depending on company The inner panels are all crap if using the universal flat inner rocker panel. If you are talking about the partial floor section with the inner rocker section formed in they fit like crap as an inner rocker also no matter who Mfg's it even Tabco. We have used every ones
Not knowing the situation. I would use the piece above and cut up and weld in the amount of floor patch needed.
We have prices on our website to compare

Re: Purchasing Repair panels, have a few questions

I did mine back in the spring and I bought the eb fabman dvds. They helped tremendously! I had alot more rust than I thought when I got into it. Be ready for the worst. May as well fix it right while your into it.
