Ok. I have a 79' with a rusty rocker panel that has a hole that you could stick your finger through and I was wondering what the best method of replacing it is. If I cut it out and welded a good piece of metal in would it have a tendency to rust? Thanks.

found a site that will make custom rocker panels
http://www.pickupspecialties.com/rocker_panels/Rocker_panels_Chevy.htm
You have to scroll down to the bottoms of the page under minitrucks:
The price for the 72-80 $119. Not sure if that is each or a pair.

OOOH! That site's a keeper for sure!

Thanks Zane!

I e-mailed them in disbelief....lol

Sorry... usually things like this are typo's or forgotten part numbers for LUV trucks. I just want to make sure before I get too excited.

Thanks for your time,

"When all else fails, follow the directions".

Those are only SS covers for the rocker panels. Look at the top of the page and click on the instructions. And it shows that they glue on and are only SS covers.
Man I wish they were the real thing.
You know I bet if we got enough people together. We may be able to get someone to built a round of panels for us.

That is a good idea Pete. Find a shop that willing to make up some.
The rocker panels aren't too complicated of a shape.

FIAA!

SFPP!

thanks what would you guys like them made out of aluminum

Anything that will work. but the ones above are to cover up the bad ones. Not replacements. That or I was reading it wrong.
Pete

i would think that replacement parts should be made of the same material as the original, and you would want to be able to weld them in place of the old ones once they are removed
