440 to Cummins Crew Cab Swap: Bashed-in rocker.

How to Read this Blog

When I started this blog, I could not figure out, within the given parameters, how to get it to read logically. So it ended up with the freshest post on the top of the page with the top of the post being the beginning of the post. When you get to the end of the post, you will find the beginning of the previous post. A bit awkward, but ...it is what it is. (right David?)

Also, feel free to leave comments. I engaged the annoying "real person verification thingy" because some dork put an add to his product on my blog and disguised it as a comment. He probably works on wall street.

Bashed-in rocker.

I got some room back in the shop today and spent a few hours on the cab. Notice the damage to the rocker panel below the right rear door.

This is a really clean cab and this is by far the biggest blemish.

It looks like it is just a good bashing and no rust.

So, I started the arduous task of drilling out spot welds.

If I can get this panel off clean, I can fix the small crease that is forward of the seam.

This plate was held in place with copious amounts of factory putty-goo. It was down in the hole in the bottom cab corner behind the rear seat seat-belt.
