Re: My First
This weekend I picked up a so called rust free cab so I didn't have to repair the rust issues on my 67 small window. Well I ripped out the carpet and found the new rockers were just slapped on over top the rusted backing plate. There is almost 1/2" of filler to align rockers with the doors. After I found this I broke out the Tiger Paw discs and went to town on every area I knew could have issues. Yep you guessed it.... Covered in cancer everywhere I turned. I felt so sick to my stomach that I had to just push the cab in the garage and just forget about it for a while.
My dilemma is do I use my original cab small window with rust on the window channel,both floors, rockers, blower area and kick panels or use the big window 68 cab and replace the like except the window trim is good and the blower area is ok.
Next issue, I do not have any experience in doing the metal work. I am eager to learn it but should I even attempt this or should I farm it out to someone with experience?
Looking for some advice if anyone has any to offer.
