Re: Twin Turbo and Dropmember equipped, Jeremy's '65
Rust repair has begun on the cab. Here's what we started with on the driver's side:
Floor, toe board, and kick panel:    Kick panel @ floor from the outside:  Toe board @ floor from the outside:  Front cab brace:  Rear cab brace:  Rear cab brace and cab corner:  Previously replaced rocker came off easy since it was only brazed in a few spots:  Guess they felt no need to repair any rust before they put a new rocker on: (For some reason this pic loaded backwards???)  Rear door jamb:  Cab corner and inner rocker@ cab brace:  Trimmed and ready to start fitting new metal. Cab braces will get replaced too:

Re: Twin Turbo and Dropmember equipped, Jeremy's '65
Time to start putting all the new panels on. I thought I'd go a little in more in depth showing how I fit and install some of the patch panels. Before I went full time at my own shop I was the shop manager/ lead tech at the AMD Installation Center (previously known as the Goodmark Installation Center.) Although our focus there was mainly GM and Chrysler muscle cars, the knowledge and skills I developed working with aftermarket sheet metal lends itself to these trucks we all love too. Hopefully I can pass on some tips to help everyone rid their own trucks of rust.
I rough trimmed the floor patch/inner rocker and clamped it in place to mark for final trimming. If you notice in the last pic in a previous post I left the cab supports in place even though they will be replaced. They give a good reference to start mocking the new pieces to.  With the floor clamped in place we find our first fitment issue. This is the edge at the back of the floor that welds to the cab corner/ backwall. The patch also didn't cover all the area that needed to be replaced due to rust.  The sharpie line is parallel with the edge as is, the scribe line is referenced off the backwall were the panel needs to be.  I chose to make a new flange instead of cutting and welding in a pie shaped wedge to move the edge to the proper location. I also added more to the top to complete the patch.  Much better fit now.  The other issue with the floor is with the flange that meets the firewall. You can see it's slopes down but should be straight. This will receive a similar fix as the rear flange but will take place when repairing the toe board/firewall.

Re: Twin Turbo and Dropmember equipped, Jeremy's '65
Everything is better with twins! The Watts link also turned out really nice. Put a 10.5 radial on the back and you have a low 10s high 9s truck. Or leave the ruber band tires and to killer burn outs.

Re: Twin Turbo and Dropmember equipped, Jeremy's '65
Next on the list to replace is the kick panel. It fit pretty good without any modification.
  After the kick panel it's time for the lower A post patch. This area has lots of surfaces to line up. After positioning the panel and trying to line up the different surfaces this was the best fit I could achieve.  A relief cut down the edge is all it took to line everything up.  A few minutes with the welder and grinder and the post is done.
