Re: Out of the Ditch = The Rebuild Begins ('72 GMC)
I lined up the door and the fender about 300 times. I had my stepson and my buddy help me out on 2 different occasions to make sure I wasn't losing my marbles.
Sure as heck, that rocker needed to be bent outward and down in the front. I then tacked it in place. Then the lower lip has to be pushed up pretty hard to meet up with the lower lip of the inner rocker. That bows it out enough to get it to line up with the fender and the door.
So there is a chance that my cab could be a tad tweaked as well. Remember, this truck was in a wreck. The bed smacked the cab on that side. Coulda knocked it out of whack a bit.
