Personally I would replace the rocker first as i would consider this to be more 'structural'
Depending just how bad it is,I would also consider bracing the door opening too.
Got any pics?

I didn't brace the door, and it looks like everything will go back together just fine. I did mine with the cab on the frame.

I think I'm going to remove the rocker to see just how much cancer I actually have. Congrat's on tackling that huge project. Post more pic's, I would like to see finished project. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 207 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 207 | I agree with Bigblockpickup, your photos were great and helped out a lot.
