Frequently Asked Questions:

1. What is the “hinge pillar inner pocket”?
   This refers to the inner structural sheet metal at the bottom of the front door jamb (A-pillar) where the lower door hinge bolts to the cab. It’s a critical area for door alignment and structural integrity.
2. Does this panel require welding for installation?
   Yes, this is a weld-in replacement panel. Accordingly, a professional with experience in automotive sheet metal fabrication must carefully remove the old, damaged section and precisely weld this new panel into place.
3. Is this panel ready for paint?
   The panel arrives with an EDP (Electro Deposition Primer) coating, which provides excellent rust protection. However, you must scuff the surface before applying your final primer and topcoat to achieve the desired paint finish.
4. Will this fit a 1960 Chevy truck?
   No, this specific panel is designed for the 1955 (2nd Series) through 1959 “Task Force” body style. Later model years, like 1960, have different cab and A-pillar designs.
