Re: Out of the Ditch = The Rebuild Begins ('72 GMC)

Hit a bit of a wall on the project. Been a lot to do around the house and property that has put the truck back on the back burner. Plus the drivers side outer rocker panel is a complete piece of trash and I cannot make it fit properly without hacking it up and just creating even more work for myself.

The rockers are from Dynacorn and if I remember right they aren't the best ones. With all the crazy work I had to do to the passenger side to get it to fit, I'm not surprised that this one doesn't fit a t all. So I will be placing an order from who knows where to get another drivers side rocker panel.

Until then I have some interior cleanup I can do and some other things need attention as well. I'll be back at it soon. Just a lot of other crap going on at the moment.
