If you want better fitting panels buy from Tri Plus. I had LMC rockers and cab corners on a cab and cut them off. The tri plus ones fit perfect with no modifications. Not all have had that success but pretty much everyone with the LMC panels have had a LOT of work to do...

sgaylord · 07-30-2010, 02:07 PM

Those were Tri-Plus panels.... In all fairness since I had to do so much panel replacement, I cant really blame the fit on Tri-plus.

Wow, like I said, I could only speak to my experience. Every truck was different from the factory and gaps weren't as nice as we make them when restoring these trucks either.

mcbassin · 07-30-2010, 04:09 PM

Nice work on the panel fitment. I have a bunch of that to do on my project. Keep the pics coming!

sourkraut · 07-30-2010, 05:27 PM

looks great, keep up the good work! it is very time comsuming getting everything to match up and look good but you will be happy you did as you already know!

sgaylord · 07-30-2010, 09:00 PM

Next I went on to correct the door to rocker gap. As you can see from the first pics it was about a 1/4" gap. Adjusting in the door was not an option because it would cause the crease in the lower part of the door to not align with the crease in the cab corner.

I ended up having to cut the entire rocker in half lengthwise and add a 1/4" patch in between. Here are the pics.

Next I needed to replace the drip rails. After searching for repops it was apparent they were either nonexistent or they were made from inferior material (22ga thin steel). I had tried to patch them earlier and just did not like the idea so I decided to make my own.

I started with a sheet of 18ga I cut a 1 1/2 x 60" slice I cut with the plasma.

Next I needed to roll 1/8" back on itself to give me the profile I needed to match the original.

Next came the 90deg edge that directs the water run off along the channel.

Fantastic job!!!!!

You are really tackling this challenge!

red69ss · 07-30-2010, 10:58 PM

wow GREAT work ,I'm having some of the same issues had to put a backer plate in cab corners as they were a bear to get to fit and gap was a little much, and I have about the same amount of gap at back of outer rockers, glad I seen how you fixed this since I was scratching my head about it. once again great work, and this is what is great about this board you can see how others deal with similiar issues.

mcbassin · 07-30-2010, 11:12 PM

Nice work on the drip rails and rocker panel! Man that must have taken some serious time.

sgaylord · 07-31-2010, 08:06 AM

Thanks guys. It is a labor of love as you all already know. I had hoped to get Jezebel done by October but that is in doubt now since I got a new job at work that is costing me my truck work hours. But hey, it pays the bills right?

Thanks mcbassin, the rockers took about 6 hours. Surprisingly the drip rails only took about an hour and a half each.

sgaylord · 08-08-2010, 08:48 PM

Next was the pass drip rail but that process was the same as the drivers side so I wont boar you guys with that.

I am happy to say that with the drip rails done I have met a milestone in this build. Jezebel's rust repairs are COMPLETE! Whoohoo!

Now on to the fun stuff. First in line was the dash. I wanted to remove the ash tray and relocate the stereo. My plans are to one day install a flip-up screen stereo. I don't think, in the stock location the screen will deploy completely vertical. It looks like the screen would hit the dash pad. To fix this perceived issue, I cut out the stock stereo opening then flipped it over and welded it lower in the dash where the ashtray use to be. This should allow the screen to fully deploy.

The next task was to remove the dash speaker grill. This will smooth the section of the dash between the defrost vents and should look pretty cool.

The last pics for tonight are the dash welded in at the windshield pinch weld. Standard stuff, weld through primer on both surfaces. Then rosette weld through the holes that I created in the windshield track as I removed it from the 71 GMC.

I noticed the spot welds from Jezebel's AC dash and the windshield track from the 71 GMC aligned really closely. This was surprising considering these two truck were built two years apart.

Thanks Rob, I don't think she will make CTC. At least CTC 2010 anyway

. There is still a LOT to do.

Time for another update.

Started filling holes and bodyworking the firewall. Going for the minimalist/smooth look. Starting to look pretty decent if I can say so myself.
