Title: confused about which patch panel(s) to order
Post by: mrh70 on May 25, 2010, 08:54:17 am

Hi all.

I'm ready to buy patch panels from this site for my 82 C10. I'm confused about exactly what I need. I *thought* I remember seeing a panel that had the inner/outer rocker along with a section of floor all in one piece. If I buy the inner and outer rocker there still will be a section of about 1/2" to 1" that runs along the floor right next to the section of outer rocker where the door rubber sits front to back along where the hump is above the fuel tanks that will need to be replaced. Will I be left to cutting out my own patches in this area from stock? I thought this part http://store.73-87chevytrucks.com/merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=7&Product_Code=0850-227-228&Category_Code=C1 (http://store.73-87chevytrucks.com/merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=7&Product_Code=0850-227-228&Category_Code=C1) might be what I need but comparing to the pic of the outer rocker it doesnt look the same. Thanks in advance.

That piece has the inner rocker. The outer full rocker, and the kick panel foot wells should cover most everything you need

just to make sure I understand what you are saying. If I buy this piece then the only other thing I will need is the full outer rocker and kick panel foot wells?

I don't know? Where is your rot? If it goes past the edge of the floor pan then you'll need floor pans too.

Post a picture of what you are working on and where the rust is.  There is not way to tell how bad it is until you tear into it..

thanks but I figured out what I needed from this thread. http://forum.73-87chevytrucks.com/smforum/index.php?topic=5661.0 . I'm sure I will have a few more questions once my parts arrive.
