DURRTY · 09-19-2007, 03:35 AM

thats looking good.

Were did you get those inner rocker pieces and what are they called? I am about to get into the same repair and though I had the sheet metal I needed. I looked here http://www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/cb/0035.asp

and that does not show your piece is it for a pick up? (lmc is easy to browse through fast)

thanks

jaros44sr · 09-19-2007, 06:12 AM

Nice work, coming along very well. Luckily you didn't have to get into the 'B' post area. More pics as progress continues.... J.

Hey, what's up with '62 chevy. Had that in HS

vtblazer · 09-19-2007, 06:31 AM

Looking great so far, keep it going.

Your blazer looks to be in pretty good shape otherwise.

Chevyman63 · 09-19-2007, 07:01 AM

Great pics! And great progress too! Keep the pics coming.

**Yukon Jack** · 09-19-2007, 09:54 AM

Nice repairs - I always enjoy seeing the rust repair pics!

Angelse68cal · 09-19-2007, 12:39 PM

DURRTY I got my parts from Brothers trucks but if you have the whole thing Rotted then I would go With GMC pauls Full Rocker inter section it comes with part of the floor pan. its Like 59 a side I think. I usually go to Brothers when I need the Parts Fast since its Local here to me In CAL. Also GMC paul is a member here on the Board.

Angelse68cal · 09-19-2007, 12:40 PM

Thanks for the Complements Guys I just wish I had 1/4 of the talent that Rockln Kevin Has. That Guy is awesome at this stuff.

badpeanut · 09-20-2007, 12:37 AM

Angelse68cal · 10-05-2007, 01:09 PM

Long Roof · 10-05-2007, 04:53 PM

Do you have a picture looking straight into the torsion box at the torsion rod? Just wondering what this setup looks like.

jaros44sr · 10-05-2007, 05:05 PM
