All three are shot (inner & outer rocker), and I don't know where to start! click here to see a pic. I'm also going to replace the floor & floor supports. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 2,384 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 2,384 | Floor support, then floor, then rocker. Cab corner & rocker can be done either way, as long as all lines up. Brian | | | | | Joined: Jan 2000 Posts: 591 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2000 Posts: 591 | There are a number of articles on the replacement of these components and suggested sequences. One is in the "How to Hot-Rod a Tri-Five Chevy" book, (I'm sure that is not the actual title), Also Tom Brunnell's (sp?), book on "How to Restore Your Chevrolet Truck" (again not sure the title is accurate), has a section on those repairs. Lastly, a number of magazines have run articles on this sequence of repairs, Rod & Custom about a year ago being the most recent I can remember. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 510 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 510 | Originally posted by 64fleetside:

Brian I don't need to replace the floor and supports (well, just a little patching), but I'm replacing the rocker panels now (right side is done, left side half done) and I'll do the corners afterward. Some pics and narrative here. I'd sure like to get this part finished, so that I can move on to the go-fast stuff.  | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 141 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 141 | Thanks, fellers! I purchased 'How to restore your Chevrolet Pickup' by tom Brownell last night. It should be here next week sometime.
Again, thanks for the info! | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 141 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 141 | Can I replace the floor supports with the cab still on the frame? I planned on doing as much as I could while the cab was on the frame for rigidity and lineup purposes. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 142 Member | | Member Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 142 | | | |
