^this bring it to a shop they will replace it with new rockers and most likely cab corners
also the rockers are higher gauge then stock rockers and some of the shops in Ontario :canuck: make it that its open on the inside so when people under coat their truck before winter they can actually get some in there and also be able to pressure wash the salt out at points during the winter.

Make sure you go up to the shop or have them send you a picture of your truck with the rockers actually cut out with a big hole on the side of your truck. Too many shops sand, putty, and paint rust these days then return it to you when that's not what you asked for.
Nope it won't. Probably looking around $1k. Get some quotes and buy the parts off eBay your self to save a lot. That what I'm doing. I'll have mine replaced and painted for about $600
i had both rockers fulled replaced by my paint guy, and with my hook up it was 1500 bucks. and mine werent as rusty.
lmao come to the NE everything is more expansive.
any normal body shop around here your looking at like 3k

Almost to the penny of a rough over the phone quote a place I've used before gave me...but I'm gonna call around and see who I know
Time to bondo, spray paint, sell lol
I'm going through the same fucking deal.
One shop quoted me $2500 to do both sides, cab corners and all 4 of my door seams. Not sure if that included blending the paint from cab corner to ext. cab door.
Different shop yesterday quoted me $3,000 for both sides, and the price would go up from there to do the door seams and blend the ext. cab doors because they're replacing the cab corners.
I need more quotes, but my passenger front fender needs replacing also. I might as well do the fucking drivers side fender as well before that one pops. Thinking about all this gives me a headache...

epper:
I don't know about u neers but I'm not selling my troka bc of a little rust that can be fixed for the price of new tires. I don't sell my truck when it needs $1500 Toyos lol $3k sounds redic to me.
It was mostly in jest. I like my current payments($0)to much to get rid of it for something so minor
And to speak to the 3k number, like Bryan said, welcome to the northeast, everything is expensive but that's where cost of living comes in. Best example I can give is my house. Appraised at 135k if I was in say Ohio it'd only be maybe 50k.

Neer I told you I could get you a hookup in mason, for 3k the dude would probably respray the entire truck
insurance should cover salt damage... i think those prices are fair boys, i heard from guys its a bigger bitch to do yourself than we might think
i know they won't cover it, but what i was getting at is it would be really nice if they did :hmm:
