1971 2wd to 4wd conversion build

Decided to redo the right side front rocker panel. Making a truck rocker fit a burb took some cutting and fabbing around the B pillar area. But its done; and doesnt look all that bad. In hindsight, I think it would be easier to cut the truck rocker vertically just forward of the 'burb specific B pillar area, and weld a vertical seam down the rocker...

They do for the 3rd door; and it fit pretty well; but dont think they make a right front rocker for the 'burb. If they do, then I messed up and ordered a truck rocker by mistake. Sure made more work for me. The driver side rocker seemed to be same as C10

I had the same issue with the right side rocker. Used the C-10 rocker and had to fab the Burb pieces in back at the B-pillar. Also had to use C-10 B-pillar and modified it to make the B-pillar for the Burb.

Was lucky that the B pillar was solid; with just a little surface rust. A pass with the sandblaster cleaned it all up nicely.
