Re: "TANGERINE" (C20 to K10) (LWB to SWB) (CST/MOD) (5.3)
Well I took a break from working on the "8th wonder of the world", and started working on building and installing eighth inch thick inner rocker panels. That's when I made a nasty little discovery,,, more rust! (of course)
![]() ![]() The lower "A" pillars are shot. I looked on Brothers website for replacements (that's where I got the new outer rockers from) but I didn't see where they had any. So I got some coming from LMC. Went ahead and built the inner rockers but will have to wait on the install till I get the "A" pillar patch. The lower couple of inches of the "B" pillars were also rusted so I cut them off and started to fab new ones. ![]()

Yuck, that looks like parts from my old truck that came from Seattle.
Have you looked at these guys? http://www.truckandcarshop.com/ I have ordered a bunch of stuff from them and have had good experiences with all of the orders. Free shipping on orders over $350 too. Not hard to do plus they are closer to us than most other places so the shipping time is quicker.

Glad I could help. At least all those years tearing these things apart and putting them back together was good for something.

I "HATE RUST" I think I would have thrown in the towel if I had to deal with rebuilding the cab I guess I'm just lazy or to old to deal with it.

I hate rust too. If you buy them right you don't have to worry much about it. But with my budget, I knew I'd be dealing with some rust. ![]()

Re: "TANGERINE" (C20 to K10) (LWB to SWB) (CST/MOD) (5.3)
Question for you guys,,, which looks better, raised white letters on your tires turned out (exposed) or turned in (hidden)??? I'm kind of partial to having them exposed, I figure old school truck, old school style. But I'm kind of torn, the "new" style seems to be hidden. What do you think???

Re: "TANGERINE" (C20 to K10) (LWB to SWB) (CST/MOD) (5.3)
It depends on the truck and color. Most of the time now days I prefer the letters in. But I have seen some combos that UI do like them exposed.

I feel your pain about the rust. I'm about to get into some rust repair myself. Look forward to seeing you knock it out to keep me inspired

Re: "TANGERINE" (C20 to K10) (LWB to SWB) (CST/MOD) (5.3)
I think with the white and black combo you're going with, it can't hurt to have the white letters out. It'll blend in with the color of the truck.

Not a 70, but my DD. The white wheels and white truck, letters out were too much white to me, so they are inward.
