Re: Our first Build - '71 C20 LWB
More Cab Corner and Rocker Install
The corner ligend up pretty well except for the botton rear, but little welding and then body hammer two step brought things in line. I was reall pleased with how this came our for our first real body patch.
We got pretty lucky with the rocker fit. The fair was really good with the fender and corner, our only real problem was with the door bottom hitting the rocker. It was close enough that we could massage the piece in to place by welding from the bottom up on the rear. We then went along the top to the front, and the from the top down on the front. It came out really well. I'll add pics of the fit and fair soon, but right now everything lines up really well. We finished by welding the gap between the corner and the rocker.
Before we started, there were shims everywhere on the doors and fenders. After replacing the body mounts and welding the cab inned and outer skins together, no shims are needed.
