Mystery Panel
So I shot an email off to the guy who owns the store that I will be buying all my patch panels from (guys is really nice too – very cool). It was in reference to a rotten bit of metal that is in the whole “rocker/floor pan rot” zone that I have been obsessing about. It is just forward of the cab support pillar, and seems to be between the forward section of the inner rocker and the cab support. I think it might be the lower part of the a-pillar, but I can’t really tell. I also can’t tell if it can be repaired, or if it needs replacing. I probably won’t know until I get the rockers and fender off.
Hopefully he will tell me what part it is and if it has a replacement part available.
EDIT 2014 Update:
For the record, this is a combination of the cab support, kick panel and floor pan.
