God Bless you for taking the time to make this video with SOOO much detailed information. You gave me the courage to take this job on myself on my 2007 Silverado Classic Crew Cab

Nice job. Funny, replacing those rockers. Most of us up in the north would kill to have rockers that good...LOL Most of ours are completely gone!

I haven't used a Binks No 7 style siphon gun in over 20 years. Thanks for the nostalgia.

I just picked up my new rockers and cab corners. This video gave me a much better idea as to what is involved. Truck will look good when you are done.

Awesome job man! Looks amazing! I love your videos, very detailed information and you do it the RIGHT way! Thank you for posting these videos. The how to's have helped me tremendously!

I'm about to start mine on my 04 crew cab this weekend. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Very informative and love your truck sir.

Great job fellas. Your how to videos are always top notch. Very informative and helpful. Darn salted roads. Keep on keepin on...

Great job! I've gotta replace cab corners and rockers on my 98 Chevy, and up until now I was just gonna replace the cab

Great video on what it takes to do this job. The truck is really coming along.

One of the next videos should be a how to fluid film undercoating so that the rockers and cab corners don’t rust out again

I use oil- it wicks into the whole closed panel when sprayed or squirted in. And will keep any repair like in this vid from ever needing to be done again. Presence of oil= can't oxidize, at least not from the inside.. Mike

@@dameankelderman Anything is better than nothing, inside the closed panels (and inside closed sections of the frame), I use a squirt can with a flexible spout that has clean oil in it (because that is what is in the oil-can which I use a lot for other stuff). The oil will "Creep" to cover spots you don't actually get the oil on to. Other people have squirted used oil. On exposed parts, a waxy oil is necessary to stay on longer. I read you can actually make it by melting old candles into oil. But I still have some Tectyl (like Cosmoline) that I add some oil to to spray with a HF sandblast gun on the underneath.

I’m getting ready to replace my inner and outer rocker panels on my 04 Silverado. My sandblaster is a pressure washer gun with a siphon hose, 5 gallon bucket of salt, and air. Works great. Yes this is a job. I’ve already done a few of these trucks. Great video!

How bad? I mean is it do-able in a weekend. I have experience with some minor body and cab repair and decent at welding. Im just worried about the filler and bondo portions. I have heard sander n paint makes you a body guy you aint 😂

Looks great. I cant wait to see the video of the duramax when its done.

Bro it’s looking badass!! Keep up the great content!

Hey bro, Thanks so much for this video. I am in the starting processes of restoring my 95 Chevy C2500 (5.7 not a Duramax) and one of the big things I am worried about is repairing the body, which is in bad shape. Rocker panels, cab corners, and doors are all rusted very bad and the bed is non existent and polishing the frame luckily that is still solid just has a lot of surface rust that I can see so far. Even though I am not quit there this video gave me a lot of knowledge that I did not have. I am a mechanic and don't know squat about making body repairs but this video eased a lot of my worry and gave me a little confidence. If anyone has any tips on good places to get new body panels, paint and such I would greatly appreciate it. Keep being awesome!

Nice content and editing, keep up the good work. See y'all this summer.

NICE JOB! We're from Port Huron and I'm doing all this on My '03 S10 w/478k. Runs like a champ but looks like dirty pig just from the last 2 yrs of Michigan salt. Getting ready to retire and gonna take it down to the frame and redo the whole right and bring it back to the Life it had in LA. They don't make trucks like that anymore...sad BUT we DIY'ers dive in. GREAT JOB GUYS!!!!

Man I was losing motivation on my 97 powerstroke but after this video I can say I’ve regained motivation! Thanks and nice video man!

If you use wax with them they will stay sharp a lot longer! Just drill the wax block slightly and then drill the weld.

Hey sir, great video! You can use smaller compressors with a LVLP ( Low Volume Low Pressure ) spray guns. Your compressor won't run near as much! Again, great job!

Nice bro, looking good. It looks like a ton of work. Thank you for the info! I need to do mine and now I know at least how involved the bodywork is. I wonder how to get away with painting just the rockers and corners and not the hole truck. Can't wait to see it with fresh paint! Keep up the good work man!

Thanks I have the same truck. Respect from northern Ontario Canada

I've been waiting for this video. Looks good so far!

Great Work! Probably saved a big chunk of money too.

Great job guys!

i have replacement rockers sitting in the shop, hopefully get to it when work slows down a bit this winter... gonna use the cheap harbor freight titanium flux core welder i bought... Ive painted a few show cars so not worried there but havent welded since high school

Great video. Reminds me of back in the day when I was a body man/painter for 12yrs. Only concern I have is not having the whole truck masked off with plastic to stop any overspray but all in all, good job!

Nice job. Ready to start on my 76 K5

Your truck would look awesome painted candy brandy, looks like candy apple red but darker!

They make drill bits specifically for drilling out spot welds.

I wanted to get in their and cut that old rocker and corners out. Nice job especially with welding and grinding, a ton of work. Curious on the air compressor for that kind of work.

Thanks for the video, inspired me to attempt this by myself this summer. Could you post a list of the tools used?

I'd recommend I flap disc on the grinder smooths it and nocks welld down

This is a great video. Keep those great looking trucks on the road. Newer trucks suck I want to sell my 2016 Silverado it’s crap with a cheap factory paint job that chips away.

wow, incredible video really educates me on how indepth the process actually is. Good work - any tips on ways to prevent and extend the longevity of those new rockers?

After the rockers are cut, you need to have sprayed weld thru primer on the back side and in the spot weld holes after theyre drilled. The weld itself will still rust on the inside eventually, so the best you can do is spray cavity wax between the inner/outer rocker.

Nice Job, I have a video on a different method if you don't want to go into the spot welds. I have done it both ways

good job

That’s what I getting done on my 2002 3500 Chevy Dually Duramax . Next are blown head gasket and injectors . 176000 miles that sucks ! One owner ! ME

As for the dust problems, just get an air blow gun and blow it away, then maybe vacuum.

your make your life that much easier and get a spot weld cutter. its basicly a drill but made to drill out spot welds and it wont go through whatever your drilling, well arleast it shouldnt go through but thats all on the operator. but good stuff man, not to many get as in depth as you when it comes to your vids.

My truck is the newer 07' Silverado and I am in need of inner and outer rocker panels also cab corners desperately. Any advice on DIY them would be much appreciated and I would be very grateful. Thank you in advance.

Woot woot 🇺🇸🍾

When you put the screws in to test the doors, did you also put screws in underneath in the bottom of the rocker panel?

Tractor Supply sells Aluminum Oxide Media pretty cheap. it is a-lot more agressive when your trying to remove rust then Walnut shells

I would replace my rocker with the one you took off. That’s clean!

They didn't look too bad in the beginning I guess I just seen WV trucks all my life so it wasn't to bad to me but nice job

What if you gotta replace the inner rocker too. Is there any inner rocker replacement videos out there.

what kind of welder are you using? I guess what I need to know is, at 10:26, If I was to use a MIG welder, would it fill in that gap? I need to learn to weld and need to purchase a welder specifically for this job. Thanks. Great video and how many hours does this job take, so I can multiply by 5 for a novice. Much thanks. I haven't done body work in 30 years.

Ik this would be expensive but I think it would be pretty cool to do. but I think you should wrap your truck to a “black chrome” like whistlin diesel

I was totally thinking that

Curious to if you used a weld through primer on the inside of all those pinch welds? Or maybe that is not a very good product either, Ive heard both ways to use it because it will set again after being welded and others have said it isn't worth using because it doesn't work.

so there is an inner & an outter panel i wondered all this time if there was...... & if most drive way guy's / gals replace both inner & outter or just the outter usually........ where u get the brand new outter rocker panel & how much roughly........????????????????
