Re: Sparky's 1978 Silverado Build "Addiction"
Today I picked up another set of outer rocker panels; ended up being identical to the ones I have, I'll just put those in the parts pile for truck #3 that JaysonB and I will be doing together down the road (more extra parts). Brown truck also came today with my floor braces.
Pictures:
1. Removal of floor brace
2. Had to tap the floor support before installing
3. Floor brace and floor support installed
4. Old and new floor brace side by side
Notes: I found the installation of the floor support was easier than expected. After drilling out the spot welds, I jacked up the left side of the cab and popped off the old floor support. I assembled the floor support and floor brace using the cab mounts hardware and bolted it down tight. The floor brace has a nut welded to it that attaches to the front seat bracket, this gave me two true mounting points for the floor brace. I then used a Dremel to clean the floor brace where the spot welds were located and then filled the old drilled out spot welds with new welds. I then took out the floor support, drilled some holes and welded it to the floor brace and inner rocker panel.
