Hey All
so the cab is off the frame and im starting the repairs on the rocker panels, floor pans, and cab corners. ive read a few of the posts here and been watching a few videos to try and prep. got to cutting the floor pans out yesterday/today and the spot welds were giving me trouble as well i cut into the supports so i will go back and back them with angle iron in those places.
my main question is for the rocker panels. Ive used this video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSG40-OXJDw&t=640s]. now in the video pretty much he removes the spot welds and the whole piece or whats left comes away. seems simple and there i can see a visible seam of the rocker panel at the top under the hinge.
now on my truck i cant see a seam. its look and feels like it continues straight up like one piece, and ill have to judge where to cut it. is that a possibility? i have spot welds in similar locations to the video but it looks like a single cohesive piece. I will get a picture up tomorrow as i figure this out and i have spot weld cutters on order for tuesday
also my inner rocker panel kinda quits its run about a 1\4 way from the back and doesnt run the whole length. i have spare 18 gauge steel sheet that i could modify that with and have it meet the at the back cab corner?(i think a read a thread that Blazin mentioned something like having that joined?)
