     Yea, after market panels can give you a serious head ache if you buy them from the wrong place, especially a couple companies I know of that use cheap material and they never fit right.

I have a local company named restoration world, this is where I got those few panels from. The guys were great to deal with...

Starting to get the front end back into the truck after being cleaned up and primed



Here are the pics of the cab corner and new rockers. The gap at the bottom is not perfect but I as soon as I get the lower half of the passenger door repaired it will be perfect.





While I had the bed off to get to the cab corner I scrapped and wire brushed the rear part of the frame which from the cab back was rusty but from the cab forward it was ziebart rust protected so it is almost new looking. I got is all in a rust stopping primer then had to sit the bed back on it. I hope to be able to get it all painted black soon. I did pull the passenger fuel tank as I found a 25 gallon fuel tank from an 86 blazer for 29.95 with a warranty  that is a little over an hour away.
