Re: Hard to answser I know....but
It depends on the going hourly body shop labor rate in your area. The rates vary throughout the country. It also depends on what the find when they cut it open. If they find more rust... You guessed it... Price goes up.

Re: Hard to answser I know....but
It is gonna help you on the price IF you have the front off and the doors off it too as far as the labor is concerned but some shops need to do that themselves to have a guideline to go from once it is reassembly time. An above poster said $400 to 600 hundred in labor, I think you may be closer to figuring that PER SIDE. One guy on the paint and body section had posted in his area[TX I think] said that rocker jobs were going for anywhere between $1500 to $5000. I know the high end seems excessive but I could walk you through one at my shop and then maybe you would have a better grasp on things as to why it is so expensive. It is very labor intensive. I have 5 or 6 trucks in my shop yard that need that done to make these trucks solid on there way to being something and I just can't make that much time. Jim

I think the bed has to come off so maybe if you removed that yourself you could get a better price.

Re: Hard to answser I know....but
If the cab is stripped completely it takes 8hr each for the rockers and 8hr each for the cab corners. That is saying your inner rockers and everything else including your A-pillars and rear pillars are good.
