Rockers
« on: June 19, 2007, 08:12:06 am »
Hey Folks:

I am getting ready to install new rockers and cab corners this weekend.  Does anyone have any pictures of the process?

My project:

86 Chevy C-10 SWB, Fleetside

A few pictures




Thanks in advance.

I don't have any pix as it's a task I like to forget about... :D

I can give you a few tips though... Make sure you line everything up mint with the door and the bed before you weld anything.

Blazin has the pics of his I believe, I was going to DL them for a write-up, but I have been busy trying to get a Suburban running.

Thanks for responding.  I think I'll go with what I have been reading and the "few" pictures that I found.  Does anyone know where i might find a new cab - in case something goes wrong. ::)

I'll post pictures when I am done.

Do a search for Blazin as the username.  He has all the pic on an image file, just not sure where...

Thanks Blazin - You Rock!!  That is what I was looking for.  I went through all your old posts and printed everything you had said to do concerning Rockers, floors and cab corners.  Thanks for all your help.  I'll post pictures as I progress.

I was thinking that is what I would do to get the "steps" required along with your pictures.  Now I have both ideas in one post! ;)
