1967-72 C10 Rockers and Cab Corners Removal and Installation Tech Talk

For this Tech Talk, we show you the best way to go about C10 rust repair, specifically walking through a 1967-72 C10 rocker panel replacement and a C10 cab corner replacement. We partnered with No Coast Custom and Rod Shop on this project because we wanted to be strategic about how we cut out and replaced these parts so the finished product would look perfect.
Most trucks like this are going to have rust nearly everywhere, but you can’t just cut everything out. Our plan for the C10 cab repair was to cut most of the metal out while leaving the inner structure there. Then we drilled in our spot welds or grind them to remove that material more precisely.
1967-72 rocker panel replacement is almost a guarantee on any truck that hasn’t already been restored. Every truck is a little different and these panels are all a little different, so expect to do some hammering, twisting, cutting, and welding to get these to fit.
C10 cab corner repair is another job that you should be expecting. The most important part here is that you don’t need to blast a giant hole in the cab to replace the big chunk of cab corner sheet metal that will come in the box. Most of these trucks are only rusty on the bottom few inches, and your job will be a lot simpler if you only replace what’s necessary.

Thanks for the video. It doesn’t appear that your cab corner welded to the inner rocker similar to the way the outer rocker did along that long lower seam. My truck is the same way. What confuses me is that the factory assembly manual shows three spot welds there.
