Re: hippies-72 gmc
Look in your picture software and see if you can edit and save your pictures as "Best for Email". The PRINCESS showed me how to do it!

Re: hippies-72 gmc
not only the floor is in bad shape but the rocker panel was cut up the inside rocker was too. the floor support was just metal cut and bolted to what was left of the rusty old support.and about 6" of the kick panel is gone. along with not much holding the a-pillar together.
looks like a job.never done this before but going to give it a shot.the pic are a little old but just figured out how to post them thanks to people on here. |

Re: hippies-72 gmc
thanks jerry it very slow progress but hope it goes together good wasnt much to go off of . drivers side in real bad shape. i was going to take the cab off and do it all but thought it might shift around and decided to fix most of it while still bolted down.
