73-75 Sliders

These years have little to no bracing compared to others and this is what I came up with. Thought it might help someone out. 2x3 .188 wall

This is tied to the bottom plate of my cage.

Still have to fill in and weld the bottom.

Looks good,I like the "steps" on the side. Mine has to have them so this is a keeper for Ideas.

do you have more pictures of this like before the steel was in after you cut the rocker away?

 

[chevysmithz71]

Sorry no pics of that. Why would you like that pic? To know what is behind for it strength wise?

i'm planning something sorta like that, then put a rocker panel back on it and box it in on the back, sorta like a cab or single floor tub looks..i am doing it for strength(cuttin top out of my 80,possibly....got a line on a 74 model also tho) doubt it get drug over any rocks, mostly mud and firetrails and such..talkin to girls while camping almost as much fun as muddin it.....almost =)

do you have skid plates welded on under the floor boards to smooth out the bottom can you get a pic from a little farteher away and a better door jam pic how far in did you go.

The skids are going to happen once the Stak is in and belly tucked nicely. I used 2x3 so right at the curve of the corner is where the Jam molded in to the curve.Here are some befores...
