This might help you understand how its assembled and why you will need the whole side with inner structure.

On the cab side you peel the damaged layers 1 at a time. On the donner side you do the same in reverse. Peel the overhanging sheet metal off the roof, floor, cowl, and rear panel away

Correct I’m cutting out the inner and outer rockers so I can do a partial uniside I’m gonna have to drill out all the spotwelds from the roof floor and rear cab panel .

Yep I pulled up my laptop shut each injector off one by one cyl 6 didn’t make a difference . so I felt the injector u can feel it pulse so I pulled the wire it definitely made me rethink that method of checking for spark but it works 🤷🏼*♂️ . I pulled the plug inspected it no cracks shows signs of lean and the strap mark was low . But plug overall was fine so I put that long antenna camera peeper thang in the cylinder and I find a cracked piston 😢
