Question on Inner/Outer rocker design…

[AllGoNoShow]

I have a little rot in the channel near the edge of the floor right before the inner rocker turns down and meets the outer rocker. I’m going to be trying to address it without getting into the outer rocker, but I am curious if the outer rocker is spot welded to the inner where they overlap slightly (before the inner rocker turns down).

It looks like from some pictures I’ve seen of people replacing them, they throw a couple spot welds from the top of the outer rocker, in the door jamb area, where I would presume it is spot welded to the inner rocker, but I don’t know if this is stock or not. Just trying to get an idea of how I am going to do this. Truck is painted already and I don’t want to get into the outer rockers for that reason. (Picture attached)
