Re: 72 C10 for my 25th wedding anniversary
The driver side rust repair was much like the passenger side, needing the same panels replaced. Portions of the kick panel,inner rocker,door pillar, and of course the rocker.
One thing I did on both sides was pre fit the replacement rocker with the door and fender still on the truck & before any additional metal was cut out. This was only possible because most of the original metal was still there. This helped to prove how good the replacement rocker did or did not fit,
The passenger side fit well, however the driver side needed work to fit the factory metal. Making the rocker fit before more metal was removed helped reassure me before I cut out the rest of the rust & mocked up the rest of the replacement panels.
