Patch Panels What Other Parts Do I Need? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Normy71 · 05-02-2009, 11:56 AM

Hi All Starting to do some cab repairs and this is a picture of the rusty cab and the patch panels I already have.
The Passenger side is in the same shape as the drivers side.
What other patch panels/parts do I need to make this a lot easier to complete? I'm interested in the extended inner rockers are they something I should look into? Does anyone have pictures of them?
Thanks
What I have is
2 outer rockers L&R
4 slip on cab supports L&R
2 Cab corners L&R
2 front floor patch panels L&R

I'd say you are at least going to need the inner rocker panels which include the outer floor sections. By the time you tear into it, you might need the pillar repair panels too. You can practice on my truck before you start on yours!!

Where did you buy your parts? I have the same project in front of me. I will be doing a bit more than you, but I will need kickers and rockers and such. Thanks for the help.

Make sure you check out vendors of this site they will set you up with what you need.
good luck with your repairs!

From what I can see you need:
Foot well patches
front door front pillar patches
Front cab supports
Rear cab supports
(Throw away the slip overs, they are garbage that will only make an existing problem worce)
I would be tempted to use the floor extentions instead of the front floor halves. They are a better peice and looking at your rust might just be easier to install. If not the floor patches that you have will work, but you will have to fab up some small pieces to fix what the floor section doesn't cover.

Of coarse we sell everything I have listed...
