Ok, so here are a few more pics. I've been doing sheet metal work lately.
The truck will have 2x6 boxed rocker guards. In place of the outer rocker panels, I'm fabbing up some 1x1 square stock. I cut away all the outer rocker except for the flat part that goes under the door. Then I followed the original edge of the rocker with the edge of the square stock and welded it in place. Below this piece I added 1 more piece that will follow the original door opening, creating a finished look from the outside. I did all this to maintain structural integrity of the rocker so that it can be stood on without destroying itself and to make it look good. The pics should explain it.
And yes, some previous owner was probably drunk when they cut the inner kick panels. I'll cut those straight and in line with what I did to the outer rocker.
