Well finally got the truck running great, stopping awsome with the front disc set up.
Time to de-bondo the driver side. The driver side rocker has 1 1/2 thick bondo, the door has about an inch.Plan is to cut the doo skin off and get another door skin and weld it in, the rockers will be cut out and replaced with new metal. Pretty simple on the rockers, now the door skin will be a challenge to find, unless i find a whole door will save me tons of time.
Under the fender the sub frame or cowl area is pretty solid just surface rust will be sanded and rust proofed.
here are a couple pics of what i am starting with.
It takes just as long to smooth the filler out than to just take the damn door off and replace it.
Wish me luck PLEASE!!

 

Holy hell looks like they didnt even try to pull the dent out at all.

 

Yup thats how it be in the Flo-ride-duh!
My last truck was from Washington State zero rust!
It was a 1972 Ford Courier on bags, but like i said no rust at all.
This Toyo is not bad but the door and rocker are garbage.
We will see about the floor after the door and rocker is done.

 

Well i knew this **** would happen!
Called Friday for the door skin told the yard i would pay right then
Of course i gave them extra day just in case i call today i get another yahoo tells me that they dont do that...
Granted i spoke to the owner on Friday. But he was off today, well lets see what happens tomorrow.
This door thing is really becoming a pain in my ass!
Its no wonder why they bondoed the crap out of the door!
Sorry had to vent!

 

Little update
Got to grind, chizzled, hammered, swore!!

Public service announcement: Stop using Body Filler ! Skim coats only not two inches!

 

Another pic

 

Another pic.

 

Thats an insane amount of body filler. I surprised it even stayed on there

 

Me 2!! o-0
All gonna be replaced with metal!!

 

Ok so i could not purchase a new rocker..
So i ve had a pair of rocker panels from a 1971 camaro.
Turns out with a lil cutting shifting welding it will work perfect!

 

Alot of massaging for it to fit?

 

Nope..
Only difference is the actual rocker curve is backwards on the Camaro rocker.
So i will post pics from my computer.

 

Woohoo scored a pass. Fender, now just have to find driver side door, and fender!:-/

 

Almost done with the outer rocker drivers side.
Took another 3 lbs of bondo off the driver side door
Unscrewed the self tappers holding down the 22 ga aluminum and there is a floor panel that is not very bad under all that shaddy **** work

 

finally found a good door and only $20.00, lost out on the driver fender..

 

Thank you ePay for non-paying a-h&*Les!
I got both front fenders for $25.00!!! Yippppeee!
Got the door today. Its like Christmas,Kwanza,Hanukkah, and all others.(trying to be PC)
I will ad photos soon for those that care.

 

Seems like it's coming along. Any pics / info (parts you went with / process) on the brake swap?
