Uhhh... How did you mount the body to the frame?

my passenger side is really bad, you would think someone would make replacement panels for these old trucks.

Slacker, who owns/works at toyotafiberglass.com looked into it and he did not feel that he could make enough money (enough market) to justify the molds etc,
My driver's side sucks:


I think it will repair it with some sheet metal with 1" box tubing to strengthen the floor

Ken,
yes it is beadrolled, i have a bead roller, did it myself, bent it with a brake up at my old high school shop, its pretty easy to bend, its self tappered in because those pics are from before it was welded in, and now yes it probably it leaks, but then again it is going to be redone in the spring, as this was only temporary to get it on the street, and as for your alum. question....what alum?
