rocker and floor pictures need

[orange66fleet]

Tried to find a picture of a eye level view of the rocker and floor with no luck, can any one help. Fitting everything together and the floor to looks to be too high towards the rear. Rocker is preaty level in relation to the other, I could have made the patch of the rear section too high than the original. It was all rotted in this area.

orange66fleet,
Don't know if this is what your looking for.
This is from Alan's build here is a link to it.
if it's not I'm sure he can answer your questions.
look at his post #39 and #70.

Thanks for the link, I am just wondering if the drivers side is any different than the passanger side. You can see it a little bit in the second photo where the floor is too high, I think.

Goin thru the same thing.

Tack it on.

Bolt on door and check fitment.

[orange66fleet]

I think I will put some self-tap screws in and put the door on to be sure the rocker is in the right place, if it is I will cut the floor again to even everything out.

Far from perfect, but it is factory.
Hope it helps

Ditto me thrice. What I can not figure out is the inner rocker has a top edge. When installed does that fit flush with the floor? Does it stick up and make a channel between the outer rocker and the inner rocker? Whats the deal?

I was confused about the same part. I think Alan answered my question in a thread titled "cab support questions". I had a power outage for awhile, so I' m not quite ready for the inner rocker yet, but I thought he told me it just gets tacked to the floor and ground down flush with it.

I passed the 50 year mark last fall, so don't quote me on that!!

Here was Alan's answer to my same question. Geez Alan, you know you have turned pro when people start quoting you!

I think the inner rocker I have would stick up above the floor. You can't really tell it in this pic, but the inner most vertical part of the rocker sticks up about 1/8" above the floor. I keep hearing people refer to the door seal fastening to that part and I'm confused about that.

I ground mine off even with the floor when everything was lined up. The door seal goes over the outer rocker lip.

I strongly urge anyone to tack and test fit prior to final weld, no matter how good you feel about it. It's easier to test fit than to cut stuff apart again.

I agree with myself.

Thanks for the picture Retodd7711, that is what I needed to see. I am going to have to cut the rear section to lower it a little so it is even. This is where the learning and teaching of this site all comes together, thanks to everyone that chipped in.

[orange66fleet]

Well it is a lot worse than I thought I had to cut the section of the floor where it starts to go down to the rocker. I needed a 1/4 inch more to allow the door to shut properly. Hopefully I will be done with this part soon so I can start on the cab corner

[jmedero]

its like balancing your check book... always less there then you thought. LOL

Anytime, bud.
If you guys need pics of any part on a truck, don't hesitate to ask this forum.
The only foolish question is one not asked.
I'm not perfect, my truck's not perfect, but Myself and many other guys are willing to run out to the garage and snap a picture for you.
Believe me, I'll be needing the favor too!

[orange66fleet]

I know what your saying jmedero. I am on my way to fixing the problem, just need to open the gaps a little to weld and grind then add a little to the inner rocker and grind, then fix the rest of the kick panel and then weld in the new lower a pillar and lastly fit the rocker and then................... got to love this craft we all call a hobby.

[jmedero]

do you have any of the inner rocker installed with out the outter rocker on?

[orange66fleet]

yes I have some of the inner rocker in place, it is about 1in short since I lowered everything. I will get a picture next time I am out.

[protrash64]

Where does the gap between the floor and the weatherstrip piece end up relative to the inner rocker? Even out here in AZ those rot, and I ve seen so many being replaced on here lately I thought about drilling holes to let out any water that mite sit in the channel.

If it was drilled, would it be in the rocker or outside?

Poor design from the factory, I think.

[jmedero]

by my fitments... now I have not welded any thing together yet but it would drain in the rocker. But it should be able to get out from the corners. I think... lol.

[orange66fleet]

Here are some pictures of the mocked up floor, rocker, kick panel, lower fender bracket. hope it looks this good after I weld it.

[low900rr]

looks good, nice job

[joe231]

Nice!
