Re: Beth's tribute truck.
Little more progress to report. The gas filler hole has been filled and stake pockets shaved.

Re: Beth's tribute truck.
The cab is getting close to being bodyworked. Probably another day and it will be. Spent most of the day cutting all the holes needed for a cargo light and headliner.

Re: Beth's tribute truck.
Thank you. Ya, been here before. I am glad I decided to the rockers as a matter of maintenance. The rockers weren't bad, but with the paint going on, I didn't want the rust to appear after it was done.

Re: Beth's tribute truck.
The rockers on my '68 Stepside are shot. Can't blame a PO. I did it. As a 20-something I splashed in the surf at San Diego and Daytona -- both coasts. I was young and indestructable and so was my truck. By 2021 I'd be flying a Hovercar anyway.

Re: Beth's tribute truck.
Yes I did. It was part of the plan when I started the build over a year ago.

Re: Beth's tribute truck.
Does a door have to be removed to replace a Rocker Panel?

Re: Beth's tribute truck.
I remove the door because it's almost always more than a rocker that needs replacing. The "a" pillars do too. It's easier that way.

Re: Beth's tribute truck.
Super nice work on the truck. The marker light gas filler looks clean. Looks killer and a super nice job on the install. But here in CA I do not see how that would be usable with the bellows type seal on a gas station nozzle. Main reason I installed a Blazer door in the bed on my truck for ease of use.
