You have fun getting the quarter panels to sit up straight? I went after it with a come-along and alot of welding, that sucker isnt going any where. Glad to see you got that in. You gonna bedline it and undercoat it, that black coating is pretty weak for corrosion resistance. I should have took pics of my install :-( . I had to redo the subframe upfront where all the bolt holes across are. I cut out the sheet metal and put in 1/8" square tubing and drilled holes in the tube and welded in all the nuts to bolt to. It should have good side impact protection now.
<font color=purple> i stripped the whole floor top and bottom ...... then used metal ready from the makers of POR-15 .......... this etches and cleans the surface .......... then I used POR-15 on the bottom and over the entire tailpan ............ I will be doing the same to the top, but since it didn't need to be done right away I saved that time for the install. I have to order the wheel wells anyway so I'll be doing the same to them when they arrive .......... Then bolt it all in ............ It wasn't too hard after I figured out how to get the thing in, it was a strain on the old brain ! If I had to do it again, it would be a snap ....... I learned a lot !!! And it feels so satisfying !!!! BUILT NOT BOUGHT !!!!!!
<font color=purple> Ben, do you have the wheel well part #'s handy ? I lost my sheet with then written down ........ If not, I'll call my local dealership tomorrow ...thanks !
I got you covered big guy. The partnumbers are as follows. pass side - 14027451 $93.60 Drivers side - 15602384 $86.40 Now, these are the part numbers I used and got the pickup drivers side well. I got mine all bolted in, seam sealed, and ready for paint inside. gas tank back in, truck running, just got to put my interior back together. Did you get to order the body sealer yet, that stuff ROCKS!!!! I used about a tube and half on the whole thing, I used a lot too, I would get a couple tubes though, it is great for all kinds of stuff. Well, Keep in touch Kevin. and good luck!!!!! Looks like I will finish before you!!! hehehe

P.S. I'm going to be gone until sunday so good luck and I won't be able to bail you out until sunday
<font color=purple> I gotta see your pics, Ben !! Especially how you got yours in ........I'm not too clear on how you did it .......... Mine was real easy to get in also. Later.
<font color=purple>I found out why you got the drivers side wheel well for a truck...........the part # for a Blazer for that part should have been 14027454. Actually that's for the passenger side and the other for the drivers side is 14027451. Just thought you'd want to know. Any pics ?
<font color=purple> Sorry, Ben ........ Your part # was right after all ...... It was changed. If anybody else is in need of rear wheel wells, you may want to get them soon as I was told they're weeding them out and discontinueing them.
