Very nice patch work. What gauge metal are you using?

Thanks, Ryan

Re: Blake's 67 GMC stepside build
not 100% sure on that....as I stated before things are all different. On this thing I'm going by what I see on the numbers on the truck..

Re: Blake's 67 GMC stepside build
Updates....

Pic #1. Passenger side corner...

Pic #2. After all the work was done on the corner and cab set in place, so I could check out the door fitment..

Pic #3. If you go way back to the first shots of the truck when it was dropped off the drivers door was caved in pretty good.
They tried to fix the "A" pillar with heat and it was all F'd up so it needed to be replaced..

Pic #4. The old piece cut out and new plate made..

Pic #5. Tacked in place with cage nuts for hinge.. (Bad pics sorry)

Re: Blake's 67 GMC stepside build
Here are some more pics....

Pic #1. The lower section being replaced that was bad..

Pic #2. The upper section was badly crushed and they used a torch to try and fix it at some point. (so it came out as well so the door will close)

Pic #3. The old piece removed and the cage nuts as well..

Pic #4. All fixed..

Next up....Firewall

Mark...

Re: Blake's 67 GMC stepside build
Nice work all around!

EDIT: I think the large window on a 67 was an option, it as placed into law in 68 for safety reasons (visablity)
