hobospyder Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 Agreed, as for the rocker I'm hoping someone has a parts truck, if not I will have to I guess this VVVV PM HOGIE. Might be cheaper to make on with shipping costs.. but you never know. 1 Quote Link to comment

tr8er Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 I ended up fabing a replacement. Wasn't very hard. Jus took one cutout cross-section and bent to match. 1 Quote Link to comment
Datsunthug Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 There you go!!!! Nicely done Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 If that were my truck, I would straighten the front bumper and paint it semi gloss silver, bang out the front valance panel and ditch the rear bumper and call it done. Ratty is cool. 2 Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 I dig this truck. Quote Link to comment
Crashtd420 Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 Truck just screams character.... personally I love the dents with a patina like that.... but damn that bumper has to go.... I can only imagine how much one of those bumpers weighs.... sweet truck... 2 Quote Link to comment
Trashy Posted April 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Ya rear bumper is going, just haven't bothered to take it off, built a new drivers side floor pan the other day and going o do passenger today or tomorrow, I've been making steady progress on it. Quote Link to comment
Crashtd420 Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Those floor pans would be gold if someone stamped them our for the 521's... my passenger floor and body mount was the only part of my truck that was rusted out.... salvaged my driverside... Quote Link to comment
Trashy Posted April 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 I kinda just did it real quick and didn't spend a whole lot of time on it since truck is ratty but it's not bad for a quick floor pan 2 Quote Link to comment
Crashtd420 Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 Looks good from here... did you have to fix the body mount? Quote Link to comment
Trashy Posted April 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 not on the drivers side, but the passenger side is shot lol that's what I'm working on now, ALOT of new metal has to go in on that side Quote Link to comment
Crashtd420 Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 Funny thats the one that was junk for me too.... I think the windshield corner was leaking.... I couldn't believe when i took my windshield out all the metal was perfect.... keep up the good work. . Quote Link to comment
Trashy Posted April 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 Current situation haha, and I've actually cut out alot more since taking this pic. Now I'm getting cab all adjusted and braced so door closes properly with proper gaps, there was so much rot in this spot the door didn't close perfect as the cab had a little sag. 1 Quote Link to comment
