Here is some pictures of the works done on my 1987 5.0 long bed.

The rocker panel, side part of the floor and the kick panel was gone, i bought replacing parts and cut the rusty parts then welded (not me a friend) the new parts.

the floor, the kick panel, and the front inside panel are done.

It is butt welded, once the weld are grinded, you almost can't see the joint.

I have to rework the bottom line of the left rocker panel which is not very straight, some hammer job should reshape it the right way.
That was all for a saturday job.
