I have been following your build and am in the process of doing the exact same thing. The only difference is I am using a 67' cab with a small back window, but have a 1972 frame cut down from long to short and am replacing the same sheet metal. I started with the sheet metal first because I hate it so much. I wanted to leave the fun stuff until last so I didn't get burned out or bitter about the project. You are doing great and the LMC panels are hit and miss with fitment. I put up a fight with the driver side inner rocker for hours last night and am still not happy with it yet. Keep up the inspiration man!

I wish I could find the bottom 3 inches of toeboard like you cut out of your other cab. I have the same rot there, but dont have a good spare cab to steal from. I wish they sold they section as a patch instead of the entire firewall. I dont need 300 bucks worth of sheet metal!
