Re: Will my rocker panels be strong enough?

I know it's a little hard to tell from the pictures, but do you guys think it would be safe to have the cab sitting on these rusty rocker panels or should I tackle that job first before I remove the cab? Thanks!!
In your 1st post, last picture - you have jack stands. Just use jack stands under the same places where the cab supports bolt on. Then you won't have to worry. The rockers look rusty, but would probably be OK if the weight is evenly placed along the whole length of each rocker, but I'd rather use the jack stands on the cab floor braces where the cab mounts go.
