Re: Previous owner '68

Threw a door on to check clearance with the rocker mocked up... No good, had to cut and hack the floor panel rocker relief to get it all to fit. Seems like I remember this being a problem for me before.

Decided to mount the passengers cab corner. I've never liked doing them, but it didn't go too bad.

Door needs some adjustment but it's coming off soon.

I like it. I probably should have done that to my floor. It is covered in rust pitting.

Looking good! The cab corner on mine was the hardest patch panel I did. They look so simple, but it gave me the most trouble.

What's left on the cab to replace?

I seriously thought about patching the floor on the passengers side with smaller patches but it too was severely pitted. I do have some heavy pitting under the seat area but it survived the ice pick attack so it's solid.

I did reuse the a-pillar after I cleaned it up. The repos are really not good on these. The contours are all wrong.

Only thing I've had as much trouble with is the blazer repairs I did, cab corners are a breeze compared to the rear part of the blazer cabs!

So I still have the drivers cab corner, both rockers, and above the windshield ( a first for me). Then it will be patching unwanted holes in the firewall.

I've looked thru my pile of doors, yikes! I keep some crappy stuff! I have a buddy who says he has a decent set, otherwise I'll be patching doors.
