Cab and door body work In order

I am reskining both my doors and they need some work on the Inside. Should all that work be competed before I do the cab so when I do the rockers they can be aligned with the doors?

Also a guy I was talking with said he sandblasts cabs. Seems to me this might warp stuff. Is that a common practice?

Get your doors dun first but I would check the skin fit with your opening as you go then do rockers

Sandblasting is a good way to prep your cab but if you don’t know what you’re doing its also a good way to screw it up you have to be carful with the large panels the rest of the cab you don’t have any problem with

Ok. My cab will be getting a new floor put in it so I assume it should be the very 1st step. Then do the doors and then do the rest of the bottom of the cab

Do your doors first then the outer rockers. I did my rockers first and now they are off about 1/4". I have to cut them out a reset them so they fit right. Lesson learned.
