Rocker is looking good. My Panel Truck is starting to rust in front of the rear wheel wells and has some dirt, mud, and other junk packed in there. I'm not sure how it gets in there either but I need to get it cleaned out. LockDoc

Re: 1971 2wd to 4wd conversion build
Decided to redo the right side front rocker panel. Making a truck rocker fit a burb took some cutting and fabbing around the B pillar area. But its done; and doesnt look all that bad. In hindsight, I think it would be easier to cut the truck rocker vertically just forward of the 'burb specific B pillar area, and weld a vertical seam down the rocker...

Re: 1971 2wd to 4wd conversion build
They do for the 3rd door; and it fit pretty well; but dont think they make a right front rocker for the 'burb. If they do, then I messed up and ordered a truck rocker by mistake. Sure made more work for me. The driver side rocker seemed to be same as C10

Re: 1971 2wd to 4wd conversion build
I had the same issue with the right side rocker. Used the C-10 rocker and had to fab the Burb pieces in back at the B-pillar. Also had to use C-10 B-pillar and modified it to make the B-pillar for the Burb.

Was lucky that the B pillar was solid; with just a little surface rust. A pass with the sandblaster cleaned it all up nicely.
