Re: Project - '69 4x4 named "Patches"
Dam your truck looks awesome. Seems like skills and nice trucks are just natural in your neighborhood with you and Alan living there.

Re: Project - '69 4x4 named "Patches"
That looks like a better way to fix the kick panel area than what I did...

Re: Project - '69 4x4 named "Patches"
Nice work Shannon! Glad to see some of us are making progress...Gotta love those patch panels. Curious to see if you have any issues where the front of the rocker meets up with 'A' post-- that curved area that runs up the 'A' post on the inner kick panel
Your rolling chassis came out really nice I like the way the clamps are painted orange, no mistaken who owns them

Re: Project - '69 4x4 named "Patches"
I got to spend a little time on the truck again last night.
![]() We got the kick panel patch cleaned up and Alan made the new flange bends. ![]() The next area of concern was about half way up the "a" pillar where there was some pitting and rust. The bad piece was removed and Alan went to town fabbing up a new piece. ![]() ![]() Alan making it happen. ![]() The new piece. ![]() And it fits...... ![]() ![]() The new kick panel patch was installed next. ![]() ![]() We called it a night shortly after this. Stay tuned we're on a roll now.

Re: Project - '69 4x4 named "Patches"
We're on a roll now, 3 consecutive nights working on the truck.
![]() Started out by trimming off the last little bit of the floor pan so the new panels could be tacked in. Everything seemed to fall right in place. ![]() ![]() Next was cutting and repairing the lower door pillar. Out with the old. ![]() And in with the new. ![]() We mocked up the outer rocker again and so far so good. ![]() So far these aftermarket panels aren't as bad as I had anticipated them to be. I'm sure my luck will run out though once we hang the repop doors. ![]() I'm rebuilding the door hinges now and ordering some weatherstripping getting ready for the doors. For those that have rebuilt their door hinges, what do you do on the upper hinges as far as the friction pad and stop goes? Just blast and paint them or can you actually rebuild them?

Re: Project - '69 4x4 named "Patches"
We're still making progress here. Alan's on vacation this week so I took a couple of days off as well so we could dedicate some full days to my cab repair.
Today was a good day. I finished welding up the front half of the floor patch and the kick panel. We test fit the "a" pillar and outer rocker for the thousandth time and got them tacked in. ![]() Then it was time to dig into the parts stash. ![]() ![]() ![]() After about 30 minutes of trying to get it lined up and to clear the rocker we ended up with this at the end of the day. ![]() ![]() The body lines matched up pretty good. The window frame is going to need a little massaging, but I was kinda expecting that already. Once again, today was a good day. ![]() Stay tuned.....

Get the kink worked out of your neck. We have to take the rocker off another 500 times.
