Happy day (The Rust is Gone)

[66farmer]

After about a month of work I finely finished replacing the rusty panels. There wasn't much rust, just most of the lower panels.
1. Both rockers
2. Inter rockers/floor wear the door seal comes in contact.
3. Both kick panels manly in the lower section.
4. Both cab corners, just pin holes.
5. Upper floor board pitch weld LH 6" RH 12"
6. LH firewall to floor up to the top of the firewall
7. Back of cab RH just above pitch weld about 16" up from cab coarner.

The things I learned about replacing these panels.
1. Don't by Counterpart panels. Recommend Triplus...better, still not good.
2. Don't trust the panels to fit.
3. When replacing the inner rocker/floor make sure the outer rocker mates up to the lower lip. Mine didn't, I had to add to the inner rocker skirt and could not push it up against the outer rocker pinch weld area I welded to the inside edge of the outside rocker, it turned out ok.
4. The cab corner doesn't have the correct radius.
5. To get the rockers to line up with the doors I had to pull the lower edge out alot more then stock.
6. The stock left cab corner to rocker didn't line up, had to add about a 1/4 to lower corner to line up.
7. Both rockers didn't come close to following the inside or outside radius of the A and B pillars had to cut and add pie pieces turned out good.
8. Take your time, get the right tools...welder, cut off tool, alot of clamps, have your local sheet metal shop bend some 90s and Zs, they work good for the pinch weld rust areas.

Before I started I did alot of reading on these site and it realy helped me to get ready I hope these helps the next guy this is a great site.
