don't know if I'm doing a good enough job or not but won't let that stop me. here are a few pics of the cab corner I replaced today. The outer rocker isn't installed, just hanging there to check to fit. waiting for inner cowl panels to come from classic parts before I can complete this side.

Looks like your doing a damn good job to me. keep up the good work.

joe231 · 04-09-2008, 12:54 AM

looking good man!! i need to do that soon, you have any before/in-progress pics. looks like the corners are pretty much done, eh?

truckn' · 04-09-2008, 01:06 AM

Looks like your doing good!! Keep it up!!

truckn' · 04-09-2008, 09:24 PM

here some more pics of progress today. I really liked the inner cowl patch panels and A pillars from Classic Parts, the fit was pretty dang good, if you compensate for my lack of experience in body work.

truckn' · 04-09-2008, 09:29 PM

and so more pics.....

joe231 · 04-09-2008, 09:46 PM

sweet!!

protrash64 · 04-10-2008, 01:37 AM

Looks good to me.......that is a nice part. I see some liquid refreshments were in order after the work, huh?

truckn' · 04-10-2008, 02:19 AM

lol yea that is usually a priority cause I'm usually working on it on my days off.

apachedaddy · 04-10-2008, 02:57 AM

one question, i need to do the same repair on my truck, if i order the full outer rocker panel does it come with that lower a piller portion?

kdrodworks316 · 04-10-2008, 02:57 AM

AHHHHHH, cheap beer! the cornerstone of any rust repair

truckn' · 04-10-2008, 04:59 AM

no apachedaddy, the lower A pillar patch is available through Classic Parts, I think with shipping I paid 73.00 for both sides together, here is link.http://www.classicparts.com/prodinfo.asp?number=44-217

joe231 · 04-10-2008, 07:00 AM

how did you change the title of this thread, or am I losing my mind?

truckn' · 04-10-2008, 12:33 PM

Joe I had to put in a request to Fred to forum moderator to change it, I didn't want to keep cluttering up the forum with a new post everytime I added pics.

**ChiefRocka** · 04-10-2008, 01:36 PM

Looks like your doing a good job. The fitment looks like its work'n out as well too.

joe231 · 04-10-2008, 03:41 PM

oh now i see, glad to hear i'm not going crazy

excellent work by the way

billydonn · 04-10-2008, 11:26 PM

Well done! Nice technique! I have paid professionals for work that was probably not as well done.

truckn' · 04-13-2008, 09:03 PM

I appreciate the compliment billydon, but I'm no professional, just a green horn everything I have done so far has been learned from this website with alot of maintenance experience tied in. That alone is a good enough reason for all new guys to become a member and support this awsome website. It's a great learning experience.
