thanks it was a pain and definitely amateur hour work lol. It was cab corner for a 2000 f250 and I basically had to modify the hell out of it. The radius on all the bends was way wrong so I had to cut them off and I used metal reinforced body filler to cover gaps and to smooth it out. It’s by no means a pretty job back there but it’s not visible because of the trim covering it. I will revisit one day when I have more time. Completed both sides now time for steps

Was that one of the long, one piece rockers that are for sale on etsy? How did you like the fit of the rocker and inners ? I foresee myself having to do that within the next couple years.

I actually bought it off eBay but I beleive the same guy selling them on Etsy sold them on eBay. The fit was great the fabrication was pretty spot on. but I do think it thinner gauge metal. Oh and Your excursion is sweet man
