I have had this truck for several years now and have gotten it to the point here I need to start rebuilding the driver’s front corner where multiple panels have rotted away. I need to replace the floor panel, outer rocker, inner/outer cowl, rear cab corner and so on.
I am a little tentative on HOW to start the process, i.e. which is the first domino (panel) to fall.
If there is anyone within spitting distance of the 25430 ZIP (Kearneysville WV) who has walked this path already I would appreciate some input. Maybe come over and provide a few pointers that will enable me to get going. I will provide beer/pizza or whatever other fuel you need. I think once the project is underway things will be simpler but it is those first few steps I am faltering on.
I have the tools, workshop etc but am conscious that a slightly misplaced outer rocker panel or cowl panel will screw up the whole thing.
Full disclosure, I am a stage 5 kidney patient, on dialysis. So, my stamina isn’t great and I tire easily but I am confident I can get through this.
