I decided to start with the passenger side first.

With the cab mount removed I decided to check the fit of the new mounts. These were purchased from AMD. I am not sure but I believe they are made by Dynacorn.

I cut out the center floor support and the floor pan.

I got a little out of order so I will go back one step and show where the cab support meets the rocker. This is another rust prone area.

After cutting out the bad section I drilled out all the spot welds on the rocker forward of the cut section. With the rocker removed I was able to access the kick panel.

After a little trial and error I got a pretty decent fit.

After the kick panel finished I welded in the rocker back in place.

Thanks Paul. Robert, I missed your earlier post. I appreciate when someone takes time for words of encouragement. I will be taking some vacation time next week so I should make some progress.

After I got the rocker repaired it was time to move on to the cab support.

Next I cut it to the proper length to see how it fits.
