In this video I start the process of replacing the Rocker Panels and Cab corners of a 1998 Chevy Silverado OBS Work Truck. To gain access to this I end up pulling the box, tailgate, bumper and doors. Then I cut the existing bad metal off and weld in some patch panels that I bought online.
This isn't the proper way to do this type of repair since that would require way more then this truck is worth and since the frame on this truck and the rest of the truck need a lot of attention this is just a way to make it not look terrible driving down the road.
