My last hoorah...1972 K20 Cheyenne Super frame off

[52napco]

Floor out ready for new 1 pc floor..outer rockers were decent just all 4 cab supports shot and inner.rockers bad..Strange how the trucks rust in these places...toe kicks were perfect.

Floor back in..going to cut the hump area out
AMD sent the low hump instead but no big deal
Got frame stripped down for blasting and engine off to
the machine shop

Good OUTER rockers and everything inboard rusted out ??!! I’ve been around hundreds of these trucks and I can’t say I’ve ever seen that! Must be an Arizona thing........

Probably could have saved the floor but all the cab supports and inner rockers were toast it just makes such a cleaner job with the one piece floorm

I had a truck where the rust was confined to the inner rockers. Think wet shoes and boots with a rubber floor mat that trapped the moisture near the kickpanel and inner rocker.

My K10 is like that too. The inners are rusted at the top where they spot weld to the outers. I believe Pete is right on this one, that’s about all I could figure too. The rust is from the inside out. Nice progress on the tear down!

I’ve had a few trucks from
Utah Montana
Look good on the outside
But
Underneath, cab supports were rusted out
I figured it was salt on roads
But otherwise, dry climates?
