New Rocker Panel - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have the whole week off. First day off since Memorial Day. I don't remember when I had 5 in a row.
I was supposed to get my block back from the machine shop in time to get it together and installed this week. Last week the machine shop guy called and said he was behind.
So I'm standing there Monday with nothing to do and a lot of time to do it in. Over in the corner of the shop I have a pile of sheet metal I bought from GMC Paul's earlier this year. The next thing you know I'm cutting off my old rocker panel and rf cab support and installing the new. Of course I ran out of paint that matches the vehicle.

Since I still have the engine out I left the right fender and inner wheel well off. I think the extra access will be nice when I get the engine back.
