Rear Sill replacement shop Colorado northern front range?

[Biscuit]

This morning I noticed that I could see daylight coming though the rear sill, so it's finally time to get it fixed.

But, I'm looking for someone that could do the repair for me. My current situation doesn't have the location, tools, skills, or time for me to try and tackle it. I'd be OK with the 2" square tube replacement since the barn doors I have had the spring loaded pin replaced with a gate latch and it doesn't line up with the factory hole in the sill for the pin.

Is there a shop or person that is recommended on the front range? I'm in Boulder, but will happily consider anywhere from Colorado Springs to Fort Collins.

Obligatory picture of the rust through hole and the whole rear sill. The rust is likely worse than it appears since 20 years ago I used a bunch of marine grade epoxy to fill in the rust that was present then.

All mentioned are on the west slope. I’d be interested in a shop in NoCo if there is one?

Man, my guys retired and moved to Wyo...

That is a 1/79 with ambulance doors. I could actually use that for my 82 I'm,m collecting part for. The style with the offset went away with the totally redesigned 79. The rear sill was completely different. Hard top 75-78 models would have the cut out for the ambulance doors to fit flush. Would have verify on my 10/75 that the offset is still there.

There are many threads about sill replacement here on MUD, but I could NOT find a comprehensive “step-by-step” guide on how to do it. Therefore, I decided to create one in hopes it might help someone in the future. It was my first time replacing a sill, and I took my time to ensure I did the...
