So I welded in the inner cab corners and the outer cab corners rockers both inner and outer

Inner rockers

its coming along nicely man looks good
-
Flat black its a nice truck wasn't even that bad inners were rotted cab supports were starting to rot rockers and corners well mostly the inners and a small portion of the outers were bad it is too nice of a truck to let rot and die
-
another square body saved!
where did you get all the patch panels?
-
Flat black we sourced them locally very good quality would have ordered from the forum store didn't want to wait 20 min drive and close to pick a parts is close
