1977 K20 cab repair
« on: April 10, 2008, 09:57:17 pm »
Well here goes nothing.  This will be my first attempt to do body work. 



I am a good welder but I've never welded on a truck before.  I will be replacing the floor pans, cab supports, inner and outer rocker panels, and the left cab corner.  Hopefully all goes well.  any tips?

measure twice, cut once.  Serveral guys have done this here, so if you need help, just holler.

Looks like you have to replace your kick panels also.  Good luck and ask if you need help.
