Rocker Panels

[RI Chevy Silveradoman]

Looking for an easy mount pre-formed rocker panel to cover the sins made by road salt treatments. Loking for the rocker panels that I can install without having to spend a ton of money at a body shop. Need to cover big holes.
I have searched the net but cannot come up with what I'm looking for. I need the skins, to go over what is left of my rotted rocker panels. Just need a few more years out of this truck.

There is always the rhino liner option- no clue on cost. But i have seen where guy put duct tape on the back side of holes a baseball can go through and it looks mint when done.

Quick Covers are precision-molded, plastic slip on rocker panels that fit snugly over existing body panels. Return your truck to its original appearance for thousands less than traditional repair!

This might work, but I'm way beyond baseball sized holes. Lol

LMC truck has steel body panels. Don't know if your rig is extend cab or crew cab or regular but here's a link to choose from

Lots of guys nowadays use a 3M panel bonding glue and/ or rivets, no welding. I need to do rocker panels and cab corners on my truck too. The steel panels are cheap, the finish work isn't. I really would like to know how to do body work with bondo but have yet to find a decent video/ tutorial on it. I've also considered what Will suggested, just rivet in the steel and have it Rhino lined/ LineX everything up to the body trim line

Thank you. For some reason I couldn't come up with anything. Weird.

depends on what you want to spend, but going a little hillbilly with some fiberglass work, bondo and a rattle can of 2k color matched paint will last a few years.

post some pics so we know what were working with.

if there is a pick a part yard locally you can use a battery powered sheet metal nibbler and go cut some panel skins off another truck. I watched a fella on youtube do a butch job placing cut panels over rust holes attaching it with liquid nails and as he called them... the lords fasteners (self tappers). let it dry then ground off the screw heads, filled the seams with fiber bondo feathered it out and painted over. He did the entire rear quarters on a wagon like that! when he was done you could not tell it was a butch job unless you looked behind the panel LOL! (Pole Barn Garage on youtube)
