2nd Gen Rocker panels...Replacement???
 

how hard is it to replace just the rocker panels on these trucks! I really dont want to replace the whole cab if I dont have to. thanks

:humm: should be just like doing any other rocker panel...

well I have been quoted around 1000.00 just for rockers I thought that was fairly expensive but IDK never done it so I dont know how labor intensive it is

LMC Truck sells slip over rockers. I bought a cab for $50 that was burnt....the rockers were perfect. My bud put them on my Dad's truck for a couple hundred. If it's a full rocker replacement that's why the high price as they are a main structural part of the truck. Ask the shop how much to put on the outer cover part.

im just going to drive it over and show them

well so much for that idea. after looking with a body man it's been determined that I will be better off wiht a new cab. SON OF A !!!!!

WOW it's rotted that bad huh. That sucks. Might want to get a second opinion from another shop.

no we both crawled under and he showed me the rot! its shot for fixing it. the cab is still solid and would last a long time if i just left it but I wnat to fix her up soooo

i need to replace the rocker panel on the driver side of my 97 club cab do it had bit smashed in by some old ladies bumper do i need to remove the old one and put in a replacement panel if so how do i do that or will the slip on rocker panel go right over the old one

Replacing your rusted rocker panel is a good idea because the rust will eventually eat through the metal, creating unsafe conditions.
