I ordered my rockers and cab corner from Fix my rust .com lol. First time from that place, but I heard most of their metal is close to 16 gauge.
I noticed some people had a hard time finding a rocker for the drivers side, - I did as well, at first anyway. What it is, the 98 drivers side super cabs don't have a second door on that side. The rocker comes in two parts. Half of it is included in the door frame, the back half is included in the cab corner. They didn't make that easy to figure out online, - hard to find that explanation from sellers.

Thanks for the website. Found the full rockers, bed corners, and Lower rear doors I'll need.
I also found a pair of "vintage" oem 6.5' bedsides from ford for $150 on Craigslist
I got the endlinks replaced. Makes quite a difference in how it drives.
I think this plus the new shocks makes the front end much tighter and not as bouncy. Also a little safer since if I have to swerve, I feel I have more control now.
As for rust, this is the biggest of my concerns on the roof.

No problem, "vintage" what's vintage ? For your truck ? If so that's a good deal! Guess I'm going to look for a spot welded. You can spot weld with the mig, it's just more time consuming and there's alot of them lol.
You have a 3/8 spot cutter yet ? I have one, but it's not looking to healthy. Found a good deal on a Blair kit here, -

I think blupupher should replace the roof panel, that rust looks insane.... haha i think i have you beat on that one though haha
I think he needs to replace the cab, just to make sure he got all of it. That spot on the roof can infest, - probably caused his surface rust on the frame rail. Yea, very very bad spot.
Yeah, paint overall on the truck is not in great shape. Texas sun and not being taken care of take it's toll. My hood is looking bad also, but no rust.
Yes the shocks stand out, I almost scuffed them up and painted them black, but unless the wheels are turned, you really don't see them, and over time they will get dirty.
