Wanting opinions on shaving the rocker panel pinch weld
Got a question about my 70C10 longbed I'm building...for those not following along.....I am thinking of another mod with all the smoothing I am doing (door handles, stake pocket, one piece windows, gas cap, antenna, wiper cowl, emblems, trim, marker lights, firewall, tailgate handle,....
We already filled the gap between the rocker and cab corner so that seam is smoothed... Do you think I should cut off the pinch weld on the rockers? We'd end up reinforcing the cab corners and would fully weld the inner and outers together and add metal where needed to make a smooth transition on the bottom. Just thinking that it might add to the custom/smooth look of the truck. thoughts??? Here's a truck that shows the pinch weld (below the door) and then a quick paint job where I shaved it Note that this truck isn't shaved like mine will be but was a good angle to show the rocker pinch weld. Shaved pinch weld
