I have a 78 k10 that I am restoring and have pretty much got the mechanical stuff ready. I need you guys input on the body repairs, which I will have a body shop or individual do. I will need both inner and outer rocker panels on both sides as well as the floors and supports. Also, both the kick panels will need to be replaced. I have the front fenders removed as well as the bed, so this will consist mostly of cutting and wielding. Ant thoughts from you that do this or have had it done on the costs. Don't mind paying, just want it done right and at a fair price....appreciate your input....also both cab corners will need replacing

Not really sure what you are asking
-
The store on this site sells all the panels you want, you can look up the pricing by hitting the store link button above next to the highlighted forum button.
As far as putting it all together, if you are not going to do it yourself, you will have to shop around for someone near you and ask how much they would charge. While you are there ask for references, a good body shop will have a binder usually with pics and previous customers statement for a testimonial.

I am trying to get someone familiar with the cost of having the parts I mentioned installed on the truck....just a ballpark figure, so I can have some idea before I check with the body shops.....
-
That will vary widely depending on the body shop, and the quality of their work.

Probably be cheaper to buy a 110 mig and do it yourself. Not hard to learn. Just a few hours of practicing stitch welds. Not to mention you get the satisfaction.
