I did body work on the right side and added a new angle strip. The left side I simply ordered a new side from Mar-k. The new side fit perfectly.
The issue I’m having is getting the box to measure to specs. The last sill is welded to the original right side. Is the correct procedure simply loosening all bolts and shifting/adjusting the panels so the correct measurements are met? Another words I should just “play” with panels to get it right? Or is there some other point I’m missing? | | | | | Joined: Jul 2000 Posts: 2,187 Insomniac | | Insomniac Joined: Jul 2000 Posts: 2,187 | Measure to specs? In my case, I knew the sides were the same length and the distance between them at the front and rear was equal. All I had left to do was check the diagonal measurements; a bit of pushing corrected that and we were done.
