The next item to attend to was the kick panel,so I marked out what I needed.
kick panel Cut to shape and trial fitted it.I realized the horizontal beads didn't line up with my originals,and yes this is a made in the USA reproduction part.I had to cut out 7/16" and weld back together to get the beads to line up.
kick panel shortened Drilled the holes for my spot welds or plug welds.I looked at the assembly manual to get an idea whee they should be.
spot weld holes drilled Kick panel welded in and I had to have Tony help me with the corner of the toe board.
kick panel and corner toe board Yes,my suburban has been violated.Tony just had to use a piece of 1964-1966 sheet metal for the corner of the toe board.
Cut the toe board to fit what I needed.We realized the after market beads are wrong on the toe board as well.I had to extend the vertical bead like the original.
toe board modification Tacked the bead back into position.
extended bead to drop down further Toe board piece tacked into place.
toe board tacked into place Tony fitting the corner toe board piece.
