Inner Rocker Rebuild - 1985 Chevy K10 Restoration - Update #8 - Weekend Restoration

Rebuilding some more of the right side getting ready for some more new panels.

Awesome job bro. I have to do the same on my ‘84. I never really knew how the kick panel / inner & outer rockers “went together” until I watched your video. Now I’m going to watch the others that you did on the subject as well. 😉👍🏻👍🏻

[@LukeBrinkerhoff]

I just did mine. Ordered inner and outer, but what I didn’t realize is that the inner I ordered was only partial, so I ended just putting the full outer rocker on, worked just fine, still stable enough for what I need it to do. Also shouldn’t collect water now.

[@weekendrestoration1498]

On the left side of mine I just used a short piece of sheet metal and tacked it in for more stability and like you say it won't hold water. Easier to spray oil or grease up there as well to prevent the rust.

So I watched this video with no sound at first (listening to wife while watching this, of course.) And from :42 to 2:24 I for real thought you couldn't figure out how the old or new panel went together. Dont laugh. Spread some time between projects and see what you forget from the one or two before. Ask me how I know, lol. I realize that's not the case here. But it looked like a slowed down benny hill intro kinda. Thanks for the video. I'll be jumping into some of this real soon and was trying to get some knowledge.

This is my first time doing this kind of metal working not too bad after the first panel you kinda know what you're doing

wow....amazing work!

[@thenewyorker0042]

That looks to me like its a floor outer section panel not a inner rocker. Is that correct?

Im working on 1985 Chevy C-30 and new rocker and inners new parts just sucks wont line up right.

[@weekendrestoration1498]

I got all my panels from rockauto.com and they were close but some of them I had to do a lot of messing with to get set it right.
