T-boned is it repairable?
I got hit on the driver side by a chevy cavalier. Truck is gtg and still driveable. I know i need a door and fender but my rocker got hit pretty bad. Wondering if its replaceable or theres more behind the rocker thats not repairable. Im hoping its just a rocker, door and fender swap and some paint.

the rocker is replaceable. there's no way to tell if the damage is beyond the rocker or not just by you saying the rocker was hit, either it was hit hard enough to do more damage or it wasn't. we'll at least need pics to guess that, although a professional appraisal/inspection is your best way to make sure.
however if it cleared the wheel and the frame isn't damaged, I would certainly think it'd be a reasonable fix

There's a large bundle of wires in that area you want to make sure none are pinched, can probably cut out the old rocker and weld in new.

I just went and look at it better. The frame behind the rocker is bent down very slightly but the lower door hinge was pushed in and the frame where it attaches is bent in by id say 1/4 ". Is that repairable? Im looking to put pics but have no idea how on here.

No wires were piched all of them are fine and other than the truck being badly damaged it drives the same as before. I got it by an 06 Chevy Cavalier doing 20 mph in town

Need to have a body shop with a frame machine look at it to be sure. Anything can be fixed, the question is how much it costs and is it worth it.
