Does anyone have any photos of the right side inner rocker at the rear by the rear wheel? I don't know if it will tell me anything, but I'm trying to rebuild the door frame (side doors) on my '65 and it's pretty much shot. There was not enough of either the pillar/brace or rocker below the floor for me to even start patterning, so I'm working blind here.
Here's what I have (after I cut out the floor)
And after rebuilding parts of the floor and outer rocker. You can see the lip/seam where the fender and rocker meet. The fender is a little twisted at the end.
I think the pillar needs to extend all the way down like the other side, but it seems like it would straddle the fender/rocker seam, which doesn't seem right and wouldn't match the other side (although I know these vans are not symmetrical)
Here's what that other side looked like before/after I rebuilt the braces, before I welded in the inner rocker.
