We'll do! Love the pics. Your photo tutorial makes it look so easy ...

Ashamed to say I collected bedsides as far back as 20 years ago along with new doors and tailgate (FoMoCo in box found in older Ford dealers parts dept) in the years since waiting for "that day" I knew would come .... when truck still looked pretty good. In the years since, oem sides have rusted some but I've also collected slowly, all new rubber, lights, inner rear fender arches, misc. I think I'll likely do the frt fenders as well instead of trying to fix low side rust.



Had wanted to do it this year but then some family & personal health issues and absolutely needed travel intervened. Gotta look after them.

It seems like on the Sherman sides there is a bit of loss on one of the body lines above that rear fender. Not a big deal unless your really picky I guess. I'll have to keep looking for a pannel that keeps that whole line.

There are a few things to think about before you say that of the Sherman panels.
1 This was back in 2015 do you think they may have new dies by now?
2 How can you go by the picture as the lighting and/or angle the picture was taken could cause what looks like a weak pressed body line.
3 If that is the only game in town good or bad you may have no choice on how good/bad it is.

Just my .02

I see he last posted in early 2021, but he does make it look so easy. .... don't he? I am sure experience builds skills and soon ... well, it just is that easy. I'm thinking that I might tackle it soon if my buddy gets in a bind.
