Does the rear pillar curve sit down outer floor - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Sorry for another rust repair question but mine was so gone I couldn't tell
Based on the curved lip on the inner side of my rear pillar patch it sits down over the top of the outer floor section. ? is how Far is the spacing or right down on top. I searched all the rust sections but didn't see a pic
Thanks

Thanks Livrat its the door jamb side of the pic you took that i want. As soon as I can get my wife to unload her hundred pics on the digital camera I will post a pic. You can take the curve on the pillar which forms around the outer floor. You can put it right down on top of floor to 1/2 up and it looks like it belongs. Need to makesure its right because the lip is the frontside for the bolts that goes through inner rocker and into the small brace on the backside. This was the first thing I tore out many months ago and now its time for the final fitting before welding. I am almost replacing the entire Floor. About like Frenchblue's

Here's a before shot... you can see there's a 1/8th to 1/4th gap there.

One thing to watch out for, the replacement I had was a bit longer from the curve to the bottom and once I had it welded in I found I had to cut and tweak the bottom of it to get the rocker panel to fit over it. I think the biggest concern here is getting everything bolted together once the new parts are in.

Good luck, Rg
