A Little Weekend Project
I’ve been working on freshening up this k20 and one of the major projects was to repair the rust in the pass side rocker panel. Normally I would cut the spot welds and replace the entire rocker but after cutting the top out of it I decided to take a different approach in an effort to preserve the exterior paint. Let me know what you guys think.

Re: A Little Weekend Project

Re: A Little Weekend Project
I had to fix a small corner of the inner rocker, then I primed everything to seal it up and let it sit overnight

Re: A Little Weekend Project
Nicely done!
I would still investigate the cab posts the rocker is welded to on the front and back. Here's a shot of my cab corners on the side with a virtually rust free passenger rocker panel attached . I pulled on the thread...but glad I did. My cab is going to be a completely rust free zone, albeit with replacement floor and panels in several places. |

Re: A Little Weekend Project
Exactly what is going to be done to my truck. While I am doing a full repaint not necessary to replace entire rocker if not needed!

Re: A Little Weekend Project
Nice job. I like your approach. Whenever I can I like to cut and patch rather than full panel replacement to retain the factory welded seams.

Re: A Little Weekend Project
VERY nicely done. No matter how “Good” the repop panels are, there’s nothing as good as preserving the factory steel.
