A Pillar replacement - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Scottri · 01-17-2004, 10:56 PM

Hey Guys,

I opened up my floor today to start prepping for new floor pans and found I need to replace the bottom of the A piller. Can anyone give me a step by step on how to do it as well as any special considerations? I haven't cut the rocker out yet. I just opend up the floor and saw the crumbling A Pillar base and stopped. The floor support is good but the kick panel and rocker are shot. Someone cut a speaker hole in the kick panel and stuffed the entire compartment with fiberglass insulation years ago and it acted just like a sponge. I managed to fix the area that he cut to fit the speaker but the bottom of the pilar is a memory.

Thanks!

Scott
