Yes sir I have a dose of that as well!! So I found a donor vehicle stripped in a pick and pull. They will allow me to cut panels out. So Ive got a source for my dog legs, crossmember, a random section of floor pan and running board supports that I needed could I also use the rockers from the donor or would it be better or easier to buy new?

I guess if it were me I would at a minimum replace the outers. You have to take the outers off to install the inners anyways.

Copy that! New sounds good! Just wanted to see if while I was cutting out panels from the junkyard if I should take them or leave them thanks again I'm looking forward rounding up everything and getting started!

If you can get the inners the nice thing is you can get exactly what you need. The after market exchange inners are really about 8 inches short in the back by the rear wheel if you have really bad rust, like mine did.
