Painted what's left of my rocker panels and cab corners with Rustoleum Bedliner. I was going to replace the rockers, but the person I brought them to said it's not worth it. My drivers side doors are starting to bubble and the rust is BAD. But, I covered the rust up so it at least looks better. All I did was sand, mask, prime, and bed line. I forgot the before pics for the passenger side...

Sounds like he didn't want to do them. I'd get another opinion if you don't have a ton of miles and plan on keeping the truck a while, it's going to continue to worsen until its not fixable

First off, I don't have the money. Second, the truck has 139k on it. Fourth, I'll probably sell it after I graduate high school.

I'm just trying to clean it up as of now.

Dude my truck has 182k and it's basically rust free, it's something you'll want to look into. That looks horrible right now, it's better to put the money into it now and save it before it's too far gone. Plus when you sell it you'll probably get more money for it because they won't see nasty rusted out rocker panels and see it as an added expense.

Yes. It looks like new rockers will still cover the bad areas on your truck. If it gets up there too far, you will have to get a cut section from another cab. That's much more expensive than just buying replacement rockers.

Yea. I see it definitely being worth the investment. If anything you'd be doing good and helping save the truck that's done you so good for all the time you've had it. It's been reliable for you, you repay it by having repair work done to save it and help it live on just that much longer.

If anyone wants to give me 1k for the labor I'll be happy to get it done.

I actually thought it looked pretty good compared to what it was...

Those fogs look nice!
