    New Member Old Truck ! Any ideas ?

    Welcome, I'm with @Shorty81 Long bed stepsides are not that common and with your skills as in upholstery you can probably trade some work with a body and paint shop and make that truck pop!

    Have a window shop do it! So when it falls off they get to do it again! I had the same problem with mine and the DYI stuff just didn't cut it!

    I'm fixing to roll the cab on it's back. Going to strip a coat on rattle can primer, prep and spray epoxy primer. Question is after the primer is cured does it get base and clear? Or 3m 544 rubber undercoat, or some other undercoat and a finish?

    Setting a cab on jack stands

    These cabs don't weigh anything! But me being in the cab sanding broke a 1k dolly! Zero damage to the rocker. But I have since added a 2x4 and other support to the dolleys. @Doppleganger the original welds at the bottom of a rocker is 3 pieces sandwiched together.
