Ok I'm back. daddyjeep, I went to your Photobucket page and viewed all your photos, even expanding each one and studying it at length. It is amazing how similar our two trucks are and how they both have rusted in exactly the same places in the same ways. I only paid $800 for this truck but even then, I've had that overwhelming feeling that I may have paid too much. But, I feel a lot better now that I can see the progress you're making.

I really think you went the right way with two sets of rockers from a single cab. The curvatures at the ends of each panel are correct using your method. If I were to get the CC panel from LMC, those curves would still have to be fabricated and I just don't want to go there. But doing it your way saves all that work and then transfers the fabbing to middle of each door opening - place a beginner like myself can be successful.
