Hypothetical Question about Rockers/Cab Corners - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hypothetically speaking here of coarse...
If a 67-72 cab needed Rockers, Rocker Panel Backing Plates and Cab Corners on both sides.
Assuming no other body work was needed (there is the hypothetical part) what should a guy expect to have to pay for these items to be put on and put on right. Obviously just in primer or ready for primer or at whatever point is normal here.
Obviously there are geographical price differences and whether a guy is doing quality work out of his garage or crappy work out of a legitimate body shop business. But, I am just trying to get an idea as to what this amount of work costs.
Whether its a $300.00 or added $1000.00 when looking at a cab that needs these things.
My reason is... every cab I have ever seen, bought, have or heard of... all need rockers and cab corners at least. Whether its a pin hole or a completely rusted rocker, they both need replacing. So I am just trying to get some sort of ball park idea of the cost of this repair. Obviously the more additional body work the cab would need the more it would cost.

What are you thoughts and estimates?
