oilyrag80 · 05-26-2014, 10:32 PM

Ok a few pics of the finished rocker

mcbassin · 05-26-2014, 11:45 PM

Very nice work on the rocker. looks great.

bodydropped68 · 05-27-2014, 09:29 AM

Looking good your check list is getting short on the body.

oilyrag80 · 06-15-2014, 11:37 PM

Found a truck I couldn't pass up it's a 67 big window short step randomly mounted on a 56 chevy truck frame? I'm not going to keep it, trying to flip it quick but if that dosen't happen i'll just part it. It's kind of a shame about the frame because the body's is really nice.

**Palf70Step** · 06-16-2014, 06:02 AM

Nice!

Mustard72 · 06-16-2014, 09:10 PM

Makes a fella wonder how the decision was made to put that body on that older frame, doesn't it?

Yea its pretty strange they even used the 235 6cylinder and 56 brake master?
It looks like I will be parting it out as well.

oilyrag80 · 06-17-2014, 10:06 PM

I have been squeezeing in some time on my truck as well I gave up on the original 3rd door looks like it was hit at some point. Luckily I have spare one and it fit much better. I will post better pics later.

One year after i did the driver side I am finally ready to do the passenger side cab corner. I went with a tabco corner never used one before but i've heard they are the best and made in the USA.

Man that looks like a nice piece let us know how it fits.

oilyrag80 · 06-29-2014, 09:27 PM

cab corner done. I think the tabco fit better then the ones I've used in the past.

oilyrag80 · 06-29-2014, 09:39 PM

looks like I will have to tighten up the door gap a little since I set the other side up at 1/8 and this side looks more like 3/16

VA72C10 · 06-29-2014, 09:46 PM

That cab corner does look like it fit well. Looking good overall!

79azc10 · 06-29-2014, 09:47 PM

Looks good bro, wish I could have stopped by today but the wife is sick and i got kid duty

Xeen · 06-30-2014, 06:47 AM

The cab corner looks like it fit in the realm of perfect and we can't ask better than that.
