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. Name: resized 012.jpg

looks like some positive progress. keep up the good work.

hippie-46 · 01-18-2010, 06:38 AM

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.

hippie-46 · 02-15-2010, 07:15 AM

may get back to work this weekend .does the kick panel go in before the inner rocker or after the inner rocker.
