Re: 72 C20 "Old Mustard"

So, after getting the first cab corner tacked in place and then realizing th floor didn't fit right with it in, I cut it back out. Can you tell I haven't done this before? But I tend to be a stubborn cuss sometimes, so I won't let a few backwards steps keep me from proceeding on.

Now that I have this fancy new complete floor assembly, I don't need a bunchof the parts I'd been collecting before the fancy floor assemblies were available. So I used one of hte inner rockers to make a piece to replace the rotten steel on the bottom of the rear wall of the cab. I put a radius on one of the edges for strength (like I think was on the original) with my bench vise. It's certainly no sheet metal brake, but it did a surprisingly good job, especially seeing as though this will by no means be a show truck when it's done. This piece gets welded to the bottom of the rear cab wall and spans between the cab corners, which I'm now planning to replace after the floor is in.
