Ok now onto the truck progress...
So i am working to get the lower cab area completed. I test fit the door and all seem good except the new lower rocker seems to be a bit too long, like 1/8" to 3/16". You can see it in the photos. When i hang the door it seems to be really good, except for this part. I am struggling with cutting the lower panel in half and then welding it back, but that may be just the amount that needs to be removed to fit right.
Suggestions?
