Yea its not fun.

Did some more digging today, and my hole got bigger. My panels are all in decent shape but they are pitted enough or gone completely in the key areas that I will probably just end up replacing them rather than try and save them. So Im probably going to end up with most of the usual repairs for these trucks. Im not really surprised but I had hoped to not have to go this far with the way the truck looked at first glance.

Going to have to do some reading and figure out a plan of attack, not really sure if I want to button up the floor supports and then work my way to the inner rocker and then onto the outer rocker, or just cut from the outside and work my way in. I feel like if I cut from the outside in Im going to loose alot of my reference points and end up with alignment issues.
