Trying to make Junky perhaps just a little bit Funky...

It still looks better than what I started with. Surprised it isn't worse for a NYer land of the rusty trunk lid.

Thanks! I did notice the outer rocker was replaced. And it does not look to me like they did a good job of it. It looks like it was placed over the pillar instead of attached to it. I will have to order a new outer rocker panel and then see what the deal is. I don't want to cut off the current one until I have a new one to size up.

The front of the cab floor looks okay to me as well, although the middle does have those holes in it where you could see the light shine through. I think I will probably go for the whole floor section. At least this way, I will know it is all solid, even if it is more work.

I'll send more pics when I start to take it apart.
