When I fix my 77 I'm going to install new rockers, inner rockers, cab corners, cab supports, and floor pans. My question is how do I protect against rust inside the rocker panel?(between the inner and outer rocker) Is there a way to spray something in there? Pics would be nice too!

How do I get something in there after its all welded up though?

hmmm i would leave some part of the metal uncovered with the por-15 so leave suface to weld to, then you could cover the weld with por-15.

Check with your automotive paint supply, or a welding supply. There is a spray product made by 3-M that is designed to coat the metal before you weld it. It should do the trick....
