New project : 72 Suburban - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

After fitting the rocker for the final time and installing the door I noticed it was off. So after taking a few measurements of the rocker and the bottom of the door, the rocker is 3/8 of an inch narrower than the door. I split the rocker and the PO also purchased a set of slip fit rockers as well so I trimmed the slip fit rocker to make up the distance, tacked it in place and checked it with the door for alignment. All looked good so I welded it in place and filled in the gaps where needed
