    @jetas yea i think i got a hold of that dude he is selling me the floorpan and the rocker for mine..(i hope):cool:
    Also a small update making slow progress.
    I have it up for sale locally i`m done with this truck it`s been nothing but a huge pain in the ass.
    I have been burned twice on parts and money for those parts it sucks but i am goin back to American old trucks and cars (never been burned once in 25 years.)...

    Here is a quick up date. I found a guy in Cali that was willing to part out his cab that was trashed...
    i got the driver side rocker and driver floor which only the rocker needed just a little work but is almost rust free(only the very front has a nickel sized spot), the drive floor pan is solid.I installed the rocker panel this morning after drilling it off the inner rocker support..so here is the work.
    I am looking for the passenger side rocker as well as the passenger side floor pan, and a better valance i have mine buy its more work than i want to do.
    if you have any one or all of these parts or a lead on one hit me up!!!

    well check out my score this past weekend!
    my friend had them in his junk pile for scrap, i asked how much he said $1.00
    i said i have 4 quarters is that ok? LOL he said yup!
    they are original 1970s 13" Supreme wheels. i really like the look, just have to figure out a flaring the bed.If anyone has any ideas please let me know.

    Have someone roll and pull the bed fenders to fit, they should be able to get them to flare a decent amount.
