Driver floor welded in. I didn't get a chance to take a lot of pictures. As I was on a roll.

Re: Project 68 k10 LWB..aka "The Hulk"
Cab corner removed. The PO had repair work done but it was all lap welded on. So I had to cut everything out and butt weld back.

Re: Project 68 k10 LWB..aka "The Hulk"
Need to move door back right? If so I think I have to enlarge hinge bolt holes.

Re: Project 68 k10 LWB..aka "The Hulk"
Looking good on the body work. My 71 is the first time I have done sheet metal work. Watching Sky do some of the back cab work on my truck learned me a couple tricks that would have made it easer for me. You will be done before you know it.

Re: Project 68 k10 LWB..aka "The Hulk"
I'm no body expert, in fact you have done more than me at this point, but i keep reading about bracing inside the cab before cutting out rusty metal, and don't see any in your pic's, in regards to your gap at the rear of the door, is it possible that the cab door jamb might have shifted to the rear a little when the rocker and cab corner were cut? I ask because i think i see a gap between the rear corner and the outer rocker.. and your saying you may need to slot the hinge holes.
If you have not cut the other side yet try taking some measurements at different places on both sides of the door jamb and see if you can find a descrepancy. But another idea would be to add shims between too the hinge and the door to move it back. Love your truck, keep up the good work!

Re: Project 68 k10 LWB..aka "The Hulk"
So tonight I had a body guy I know stop by and look at the cab corners and rocker. He said that,
"that it how the aftermarket stuff fits...even the GM rockers need to be messaged. But you did a great job". I felt pretty good and can't wait to get some time to work on it. Updates soon.

Re: Project 68 k10 LWB..aka "The Hulk"
I was told my an old truck guy that truck tolerance on the assembly line was 1/4" so anything closer than that is a win. These weren't built for show trucks, no car was back then anyways.

Re: Project 68 k10 LWB..aka "The Hulk"
Okay so this is my first time replacing a cab corner. I must have put it and the rocker on 100 times.... So I just decided time to weld.

Re: Project 68 k10 LWB..aka "The Hulk"
Ok so I was having a hard time welding the cab corner where 2 layers of metal were. I am thinking contamination from whatever was between the layers of metal. Because the exposed metal was epoxy primed which I sanded off. But something was causing an issue.
I will try and get it finished welded up on Saturday.

Re: Project 68 k10 LWB..aka "The Hulk"
Thanks and Yes just had to clean out the caulking the PO put on from underneath.
I had my bodyguy friend stop by when I had the rocker and door set. He said it looks better than original as far as the gaps. So since I didn't know how good was good I was afraid to just weld it. After he told me that I thought time to burn it in. This is a picture of the inner rocker with rust encapsulate on it.
