that is totally beyond me and the scheme of my knowledge, but you did a nice job....I have one rocker panel in the front, driver's side that looks about like yours...how much do you think I should pay to have it fixed? - Thanks - Robin

How much to pay??
If you have the dealership fix it, it could cost thousands, I bet. If you have your "buddy over by the tracks there", it could cost a few hundred bucks for parts and a sixpack or two (or three). I have seen quotes here that give that same range, ie, $500-600 to $1700. There are SO MANY variables, no one can really give you an accurate estimate until they see your truck.
Good luck!

I think THIS is the "million dollar Question" for this entire thread Robin.

OK took it to the body repair shop and the guy quoted me a price of $800 per side. $1000 per side if they paint them.

Maaco wanted $2000-2200 for mine. I found a local guy that did it for $1700. Maybe I'll post pictures later when I can get to a computer. I would venture to say that mine were probably worse than yours, but there are other variables to consider such as cab size.

I had my rockers replaced and everything below the beltline repainted, but that little plug on the back, passenger side of the bed behind the bumper is missing. Where can I get a new one?

A slight problem....
If you have been following this thread, you know I did my rockers last year.
Now I have a problem,as it looks like I have some rust "bleed thru" where my welds were located.
What did I do wrong?
What can I do to repair these spots?
I do NOT want to have to do this whole repair again for a while....

I'm not a body man and have no idea on the rust bleed through. A friend of mine at work who builds muscle cars says he sees the same problem. I'm thinking about trying the body panel epoxy to assemble mine when I do my driver side rocker.
