Greetings, long time follower first time poster!!! I am currently restoring my 71 custom c10, had the truck for 20years... and do plan on running a thread in the projects and build section (when I remember how to post pics!!)
Figured I'd ask a quick question before I dive into the cab area...need to do inner and outer rockers on the driver side, got outer off already(easy part) as for inner...any help with this would be awesome, I usually just jump in but it looks a little tricky>

There are some rust repair YouTube videos that show you where to cut.

The inner is part of the floor pan. What are you wondering about on it?

You may want to educate yourself a bit. The outer rocker is one bit and the inner is the part of the floor behind the outer. Then there are cab corners. All of these parts tended to rust due to no paint.
All of this info is available by searching the internet rather than asking.

Do you want answers trickling in or a million answers as soon as you ask? Figure out how to search the internet 20 years after.

Take a visit into the project and builds sections where people are doing this kinda work.
Best place to learn, take some time and do some research, thats what i did.

Well really Franken, I hadn't noticed!, thanks for the insight... I realize the different parts, cab corners are fine and I'm asking about the inner rocker, therefore it only make sense that the outer is rusted as well. Now the front pillar which is not part of the inner rocker is also fine....But thanks!

Ya I giver a look there swamprat, just hopin I don't have to screw with the pillars, thanks
