Also make sure to test fit your doors before you do your final welds on the rockers.

Thanks, Steve. I am feeling a lot better about it now. Before I started doing this, it seemed really daunting. Now I am beginning to see a glimmer of the light at the end of the tunnel. Of course, the end of the tunnel in this case is getting the floor done. Putting the whole truck back together is another story.

What do you mean by "make sure you keep the cab in the door opening?"
Sorry missed a word there. What I meant to say was, "make sure you keep the cab BRACED in the door opening".

Yeah, you did not see it in the pic because I did not brace the cab opening. I will definitely do that on the other side, and I will not install the rocker arm until I install the door. I need to put the cab back on it's real frame before I put doors on. I don't think the cab has enough support for the weight of the doors sitting on the cart I made.

How much of an issue is this likely to cause me?
