Re: 65 Stepside Frame off Resto

We are working on replacing the floor boards on both sides. We have the passenger side done but found that the outer rocker panel seemed about 1/4 short so we held off putting it in and took apart the drivers side.

What we discovered was how much the PO cut off of the cab on the passenger side when he put on an outer rocker (very poor job). We knew he cut some of the cab but did not realize how much. So we decided to try to put some of it back in. As you can see below, its not exact but did give us a lot more strength on the cab itself and we are now able to adjust the lower cab on the passenger side to make the rocker fit much better.

I also included a picture of my pneumatic air saw. Wanted to buy a plasma cutter but after dropping $800 on my welder just could not spend $600-$800 for a plasma cutter. Picked up the air saw and it does a very nice job of cutting 16 gauge metal. Goes through blades pretty quickly but does a nice job. We did get our use out of that blade!
