Re: Fix and Sale 72 GMC 3/4 ton 4x4 K2500
Wrapping up with the bedside repair this weekend. First image shows where the rust issues were with the new-used bedside, under the wheel well and extended into the bolt down locations either side of the wells. Second one show where we are taking from the original bedside. Third image is shows after cutting out. To transfer the cut lines I bolted the cut section to the other bedside through the wheel wheel holes, then scribed with a carbide tip and cut it. Fourth image is after I welded it in and did a little bodywork. Last thing to do with bedside is transfer trim hole locations and reinstall rear tail lights.
Next I will work on the front passenger fender removal and replace with donor fender. At this point I will be done with replacing two damaged areas and all rust repair.
