Re: 68 Stepside Shorty - Canadian Build GMC 910

I learned a really important lesson this week. I really struggled with the passenger side repair of the floor rot etc. It was really hard to get everything to line up again. I spent a great deal of time thinking about how to do it different on the drivers side. I used the rocker panel to keep the location correct for the pillars. So I took apart the rear cab corner first and left the front alone. That way I can us it as my reference point for the rocker location.

So the moral of my story is go slow, cut very little at a time and just enough to put in the replacement panel. Then work slowly forward. Will have some pictures tomorrow.
