Yes I did. It was part of the plan when I started the build over a year ago.

**Ol Blue K20** · 11-06-2021, 05:54 PM

Dang, I was hoping you sold a brand that fit that easy....

**Classic Heartbeat** · 11-06-2021, 06:57 PM

That needed fussing with too.

**'68OrangeSunshine** · 11-06-2021, 09:56 PM

Does a door have to be removed to replace a Rocker Panel?

**Classic Heartbeat** · 11-07-2021, 01:44 AM

I remove the door because it's almost always more than a rocker that needs replacing. The "a" pillars do too. It's easier that way.

**Richard** · 11-07-2021, 02:01 AM

Super nice work on the truck. The marker light gas filler looks clean. Looks killer and a super nice job on the install. But here in CA I do not see how that would be usable with the bellows type seal on a gas station nozzle. Main reason I installed a Blazer door in the bed on my truck for ease of use.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 11-10-2021, 04:50 PM

Starting the right side now. There is more damage there.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 11-10-2021, 04:53 PM

More pictures. Also our new front floor supports are in so I get to test fit them.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 11-11-2021, 12:57 AM

Right side going back together...

**Classic Heartbeat** · 11-11-2021, 01:00 AM

More pictures.

**Ol Blue K20** · 11-11-2021, 08:22 AM

Looks good, you're making some nice progress.

1968 K20 · 11-11-2021, 10:28 AM

Nice job, its coming together.

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-11-2021, 12:55 PM

Very nice work! I'm getting ready to put a complete floor in one of my cabs. What brand is that cab support? It looks really nice. Is it galvanized coated or bare?

It's one of the brands I carry. Dynacorn. They are just recently out. There are a lot of parts coming out that are being retooled to fit better. It comes pre-primed with weld through primer.

**'68OrangeSunshine** · 11-11-2021, 04:05 PM

Does Dynacorn make Rocker Boxes for 69-72 K/5 Blazer/Jimmy types, too?

**Classic Heartbeat** · 11-11-2021, 04:22 PM

Yes they do. But they are not set up with weld through primer.

**'68OrangeSunshine** · 11-11-2021, 11:48 PM

Thanks, Wes. I'll keep that in mind. Even though my '71 Jimmy's a California truck, some PO must've lived on the Beach, and the next PO went bondo crazy. It's got under-paint bubbles all over.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 11-12-2021, 03:10 AM

We finished installing the right rocker today. Long day but we got it done finally.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 11-12-2021, 03:12 AM

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-12-2021, 09:15 AM

Nice work! That lower inner cowl piece always sucks to do because one way or another you get showered with sparks.

BigBird05 · 11-12-2021, 09:45 AM

I was looking at the gas cap and its tight location in the truck box. Can you explane and or show me how you access the cap to remove it. I don't want to put the gas filler neck in the bed box and am always look for some ideas. For now I am going with a step side box.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 11-12-2021, 05:49 PM

The marker light is hinged. I reach into the hole behind the marker light and unscrew the lid. WES

BigBird05 · 11-13-2021, 10:38 PM

I have quite a large hand is it easy to get your hand in there and turn the cap or is it a tight fit?

**Classic Heartbeat** · 11-14-2021, 04:26 PM

My hands are large. Removing the gas cap is pretty easy.
