panel installations.....here we go!!(YIKES)

Hey gang,
Long time no see, I hope all of ya' are doin' good.
I finally bit the bullet and bought the sheet metal, I'll start welding in my patch panels to my cab this week........YIKES.
Now then I've asked this before, but tell me again.
Will the Rancho shocks listed for a 69 Chevy K10 fit my 67 K10?
Let me know somethin' when ya' can. And any advice you can give me on putting in cab corners, rockers, inner rockers, and the mounts would be appreciated. The rear mount is going to be most difficult to figure out, because there's nothing left of the original. I'm using a Hobart 135 Mig, and some good shrinking hammers.
See ya'
Brian

when doing the rockers, leave the door on so you can get the gap between the door and rocker just right.... for the inner rockers and cab corners, only replace as much as you need to... cut the cab back to good metal and trim the panel to fit, instead of cutting the cab to use the entire replacement panel... do the rear mounts while you have the cab corners cut out for better access.... I have a couple pics of my cab mounts on my site.... good luck.

the shocks should be the same, i dont think the shock mount design changed any...... dosnt look like it anyway

Thanks guys.
I'm only gonna' end up putting one rocker on, but corners, and all four mounts.
I appreciate your input on this.
Y'all be good.
See ya'

By mounts do you mean the floor supports? If so, I replaced one on mine but I also replace the floor which made the job alot easier. I was able to do all the work from the top side as the floor was out. If your floor is "ify", I'd go ahead and replace it too to make everything easier.

The best advice I can give is get yourself a spotweld cutter. These floor braces are spot welded in till Sunday! Their even welded behind the rubber mounts.
