yeah its getting really close to being able to be welded, the latch mechanism will fit and work in the current state but to make it the same as the other side I need to sink the pocket into the post another 1/8th.

Got the rear of the pillar tacked in place and the latch pocket moved back where it needs to be.

Re: 1972 Chevy K20 Extended Cab Cummins Build

today we got the pillar welded in and the temporary latch for the drivers door made and installed so it all works, tomorrow the plan is to get the suburban cut off and the back of the truck cab put on

Sunday we got the suburban back off and the truck back sat on, the nest step is to mount the rear to the cab
