You probably dont give a damn but does any of you know of a trick to get back into an instagram account?? I stupidly forgot the account password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me
@Kasen Yusuf I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and im in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
I use oil- it wicks into the whole closed panel when sprayed or squirted in. And will keep any repair like in this vid from ever needing to be done again. Presence of oil= can't oxidize, at least not from the inside.. Mike
@@dameankelderman Anything is better than nothing, inside the closed panels (and inside closed sections of the frame), I use a squirt can with a flexible spout that has clean oil in it (because that is what is in the oil-can which I use a lot for other stuff). The oil will "Creep" to cover spots you don't actually get the oil on to. Other people have squirted used oil. On exposed parts, a waxy oil is necessary to stay on longer. I read you can actually make it by melting old candles into oil. But I still have some Tectyl (like Cosmoline) that I add some oil to to spray with a HF sandblast gun on the underneath.
I’m getting ready to replace my inner and outer rocker panels on my 04 Silverado. My sandblaster is a pressure washer gun with a siphon hose, 5 gallon bucket of salt, and air. Works great. Yes this is a job. I’ve already done a few of these trucks. Great video!
How bad? I mean is it do-able in a weekend. I have experience with some minor body and cab repair and decent at welding. Im just worried about the filler and bondo portions. I have heard sander n paint makes you a body guy you aint 😂
Hey bro, Thanks so much for this video. I am in the starting processes of restoring my 95 Chevy C2500 (5.7 not a Duramax) and one of the big things I am worried about is repairing the body, which is in bad shape. Rocker panels, cab corners, and doors are all rusted very bad and the bed is non existent and polishing the frame luckily that is still solid just has a lot of surface rust that I can see so far. Even though I am not quit there this video gave me a lot of knowledge that I did not have. I am a mechanic and don't know squat about making body repairs but this video eased a lot of my worry and gave me a little confidence. If anyone has any tips on good places to get new body panels, paint and such I would greatly appreciate it. Keep being awesome!
God Bless you for taking the time to make this video with SOOO much detailed information. You gave me the courage to take this job on myself on my 2007 Silverado Classic Crew Cab
Very nice. As a welder fabricator, I think you guys did a good job. I'm going to be trying this when I get 2 weeks off in July. Pretty hyped to bang it out, especially when there's gents like you putting videos up showing how. Cheers!
NICE JOB! We're from Port Huron and I'm doing all this on My '03 S10 w/478k. Runs like a champ but looks like dirty pig just from the last 2 yrs of Michigan salt. Getting ready to retire and gonna take it down to the frame and redo the whole right and bring it back to the Life it had in LA. They don't make trucks like that anymore...sad BUT we DIY'ers dive in. GREAT JOB GUYS!!!!
Your video helped me huuuuuge. I have hardly done any body work the right way before and after watching yours a couple of times. I tackled my fathers T ruk for him. Its his baby and he was bummed and to old and to broke to do it himself or to pay for it to be done. Thanks a ton keep up the good work.
You need some fiberglass welding blankets, you can get from harbor freight. It will save your interior. Also, weld thru primer the panels you are welding, it will cut down on rust coming back from welding. Otherwise, great job
You really should've done the inner rockers, sand blast and rust preventative will only work for so long in our states. Plus when you do the inner rockers it actually makes the job easier.
I was looking for information on putting on a cab corner which your video didn't really contain. Still, just wanted to give a thumbs up for a properly edited video.
i have replacement rockers sitting in the shop, hopefully get to it when work slows down a bit this winter... gonna use the cheap harbor freight titanium flux core welder i bought... Ive painted a few show cars so not worried there but havent welded since high school
Hey sir, great video! You can use smaller compressors with a LVLP ( Low Volume Low Pressure ) spray guns. Your compressor won't run near as much! Again, great job!
Great video. Reminds me of back in the day when I was a body man/painter for 12yrs. Only concern I have is not having the whole truck masked off with plastic to stop any overspray but all in all, good job!
I am going to try my best to fix my 2006 Silverado 4x4 v8 truck. It has rust on rockers too just like this one. The bed as well but not as bad, but I am gonna end up getting a step side so I ain’t worrying about it. Going to try my best on fixing my truck, never really done anything work like this going to try my best though
Awesome job man! Looks amazing! I love your videos, very detailed information and you do it the RIGHT way! Thank you for posting these videos. The how to's have helped me tremendously!
This is a great video. Keep those great looking trucks on the road. Newer trucks suck I want to sell my 2016 Silverado it’s crap with a cheap factory paint job that chips away.
your make your life that much easier and get a spot weld cutter. its basicly a drill but made to drill out spot welds and it wont go through whatever your drilling, well arleast it shouldnt go through but thats all on the operator. but good stuff man, not to many get as in depth as you when it comes to your vids.
@ 5 30 WE SEE A PORTABLE ON WHEEL'S SAND BLASTER.... what that usually rent's for usually / roughly...... & what sort of sand r u using to sand blast..... ( can it be bought from like lowes or home depot )...........?????
so there is an inner & an outter panel i wondered all this time if there was...... & if most drive way guy's / gals replace both inner & outter or just the outter usually........ where u get the brand new outter rocker panel & how much roughly........????????????????
Nice bro, looking good. It looks like a ton of work. Thank you for the info! I need to do mine and now I know at least how involved the bodywork is. I wonder how to get away with painting just the rockers and corners and not the hole truck. Can't wait to see it with fresh paint! Keep up the good work man!
Im late to the party but tbh I WOULD DO THE SAME THING!! But I’m a Frrrd guy but never owned a Diesel. But I’m hoping when i grow up to be a big boy I can get one. I’m 35 soooo idk. I have a 5.4 sd
Bruh y’all replacing these rockers but they’re mint. Y’all lucky you have rockers cause my truck hasn’t had them in like 5 years and it’s about to lose a rear door.😂 Thanks for the video tho, where my Michiganders at?
If anyone wonders why you should DIY this........ the local body shop said it was $5500 for new rockers and cab corners on my Silverado. But for 30 hours of work, plus paint and materials I can see why.
I wanted to get in their and cut that old rocker and corners out. Nice job especially with welding and grinding, a ton of work. Curious on the air compressor for that kind of work.
wow, incredible video really educates me on how indepth the process actually is. Good work - any tips on ways to prevent and extend the longevity of those new rockers?
After the rockers are cut, you need to have sprayed weld thru primer on the back side and in the spot weld holes after theyre drilled. The weld itself will still rust on the inside eventually, so the best you can do is spray cavity wax between the inner/outer rocker.
My truck is the newer 07' Silverado and I am in need of inner and outer rocker panels also cab corners desperately. Any advice on DIY them would be much appreciated and I would be very grateful. Thank you in advance.
what kind of welder are you using? I guess what I need to know is, at 10:26, If I was to use a MIG welder, would it fill in that gap? I need to learn to weld and need to purchase a welder specifically for this job. Thanks. Great video and how many hours does this job take, so I can multiply by 5 for a novice. Much thanks. I haven't done body work in 30 years.
Erg good job, not trying to be that guy but you mixed BONDO wrong you want to basically scope it all up and spread it out so you don’t get air bubbles in it
Curious to if you used a weld through primer on the inside of all those pinch welds? Or maybe that is not a very good product either, Ive heard both ways to use it because it will set again after being welded and others have said it isn't worth using because it doesn't work.
32 SECOND'S IN HERE U MENTIONED these panel's r from keystone products...... but i not see no links below to look for my self for my rocker panel's..... WHY.........?????????
Finally! An American youtube rocker repair video that doesnt involve expanding foam, 12kg of bondo & zero welding!
Nice work!
Thanks

Thank you so much you saved my account :D
Harbor freight sells a spotweld cutter that's cheap, fast and works great for what it is
Duramax 315 4.99
I use them all the time work just as good if not better then some of the expensive kit I have had in the past
If you use wax with them they will stay sharp a lot longer! Just drill the wax block slightly and then drill the weld.
One of the next videos should be a how to fluid film undercoating so that the rockers and cab corners don’t rust out again
I use oil- it wicks into the whole closed panel when sprayed or squirted in. And will keep any repair like in this vid from ever needing to be done again. Presence of oil= can't oxidize, at least not from the inside.. Mike
The best to use is crc heavy duty corrosion inhibitor. You can look up a video by project where he tests various products
@@mtwseneca what type of oil to be exact sir?

If only you could help me I need to learn to weld first 😅
@Sxvaqe-_- just turn on the machine and melt stuff. Youll get better
Just a tip you can use a centre point drill that they use in lathes to drill out the spot welds.
Nice job.... you should try using a flap wheel disc to bring those welds down... works a ton better
Really that’s a good tip
They make drill bits specifically for drilling out spot welds.

Huge shout out to the Truckmaster. Couldn't imagine doing this to my old girl but the time is now 😎
Thanks 👍
On my o4 crewcab took the center post out 6".up. put in all new replacement rocker
You need some fiberglass welding blankets, you can get from harbor freight. It will save your interior. Also, weld thru primer the panels you are welding, it will cut down on rust coming back from welding. Otherwise, great job
That was my Q. Etch primer . also looked back to see the first coat was glass. looking good
This is the correct way to do this job. Welds and finishing could be a bit better, but I am nit-picking at that point.
I just picked up my new rockers and cab corners. This video gave me a much better idea as to what is involved. Truck will look good when you are done.
I'd recommend I flap disc on the grinder smooths it and nocks welld down
Ik this would be expensive but I think it would be pretty cool to do. but I think you should wrap your truck to a “black chrome” like whistlin diesel
I was totally thinking that
When painting. Do long sweeps. You dont wanna do a bunch of little patches then paint the whole thing... just paint the whole thing
Great job! I've gotta replace cab corners and rockers on my 98 Chevy, and up until now I was just gonna replace the cab
That’s what I getting done on my 2002 3500 Chevy Dually Duramax . Next are blown head gasket and injectors . 176000 miles that sucks ! One owner ! ME
I'm about to start mine on my 04 crew cab this weekend.
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Very informative and love your truck sir.
You really should've done the inner rockers, sand blast and rust preventative will only work for so long in our states. Plus when you do the inner rockers it actually makes the job easier.
I'd also suggest using a weldable primer, when doing rust repair work.
Should've used the body line on the cab corner as your paint blending area.
That guy really knows his stuff
I was looking for information on putting on a cab corner which your video didn't really contain. Still, just wanted to give a thumbs up for a properly edited video.
Your truck would look awesome painted candy brandy, looks like candy apple red but darker!
As for the dust problems, just get an air blow gun and blow it away, then maybe vacuum.
Get that oil undercoated when you are finished. Annual application and you won’t have any more rust issues
I've done this to 3 different Chevys it's a lot of work good job
Andrew Scott thanks
thanks for posting....my rockers are a lot worse than yours but after wtching you I think I'll tackle them.
They didn't look too bad in the beginning I guess I just seen WV trucks all my life so it wasn't to bad to me but nice job
i have replacement rockers sitting in the shop, hopefully get to it when work slows down a bit this winter... gonna use the cheap harbor freight titanium flux core welder i bought... Ive painted a few show cars so not worried there but havent welded since high school
Man I was losing motivation on my 97 powerstroke but after this video I can say I’ve regained motivation! Thanks and nice video man!
Thanks
Hey sir, great video! You can use smaller compressors with a LVLP ( Low Volume Low Pressure ) spray guns. Your compressor won't run near as much! Again, great job!
Tractor Supply sells Aluminum Oxide Media pretty cheap. it is a-lot more agressive when your trying to remove rust then Walnut shells
that looks awesome man holy crap am i blown away,can jameson come an pull my bed an get my frame done lol kiiler job josh an jameson.
patrick crawford haha, wish i could help all of the trucks out there. Thanks 👍
Great job fellas. Your how to videos are always top notch. Very informative and helpful. Darn salted roads. Keep on keepin on...

Great video on what it takes to do this job. The truck is really coming along.
Awesome job ! I knew you could do it . And for your experienced friend to help what can you say but thanks he is a true craftsman. Have a great night.
Thanks
Awesome job man! Looks amazing! I love your videos, very detailed information and you do it the RIGHT way! Thank you for posting these videos. The how to's have helped me tremendously!

Awesome as always. Just so you know I flashed my starlite tunes in tonight. Highly recommend
That’s good to hear 👍
Incredibly clean
I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Chevy's and GMC's but DAMN do I hate this one thing about them... Awesome video guys!!!!!!!!!
Thanks and I totally agree

Nice rust repair
Thanks

One hell of a truck need one of these for my daily driver.

Great Work! Probably saved a big chunk of money too.
Good job I'm about to start my lly right after motor
Great content man. I’ll be starting the rockers and cab corners on my LB7 in a few weeks, so this was a good watch!
What if you gotta replace the inner rocker too. Is there any inner rocker replacement videos out there.
Think it’s time for some new wheels and tires 👍🏻
One of your best videos!
Thanks man it’s was a lot of work
Dude that's awesome!! Now the fun begans..💪🤙

Crazy how much that guy sounds like Badger from Breaking Bad.

You need to do some leather interior
Yes indeed. Check out Katskins
yea new seat cover we could get a nice tutorial out of it :D :D heard its easy but i need truck master to show me how before haha
Nice content and editing, keep up the good work. See y'all this summer.
Awesome job Josh. Thank you as always for the videos.
Thanks mike
best rocker video on the internet!! love the channel!
I see both inner & outer rockers for sale. I'm guessing a person should get both?
This video was great. Very thorough. Much appreciated.
Nice Job, I have a video on a different method if you don't want to go into the spot welds. I have done it both ways
what kind of welder are you using? I guess what I need to know is, at 10:26, If I was to use a MIG welder, would it fill in that gap?

Erg good job, not trying to be that guy but you mixed BONDO wrong you want to basically scope it all up and spread it out so you don’t get air bubbles in it
What is I have nothing to punch weld to on the bottom once replacing
That guy is a good ✋ man 👍
I'm getting rid if my rockers on my avalanche and let it just be flat on the bottom
Great job guys!
When you put the screws in to test the doors, did you also put screws in underneath in the bottom of the rocker panel?
put zinc on the metal before priming it
Curious to if you used a weld through primer on the inside of all those pinch welds? Or maybe that is not a very good product either, Ive heard both ways to use it because it will set again after being welded and others have said it isn't worth using because it doesn't work.
Amy chance you wanna list the tools used?

Nice job. Ready to start on my 76 K5
Hey I noticed on this video that you sandblasted the inner rockers, did you use that same compressor? If so how did it do?
Wow, you guys do awesome work. This is such an awesome video.
Thanks
