I am back to work on the 2004 3rd gen Dodge diesel. Rocker panel and cab corner replacement due to rust damage. This truck had extensive rust and needed complete replacement on the inner, middle and outer panels.

Thanks for the video. Very informative.
What type of welding equipment did you use
I would like the dimensions of that fourteengage iner rocker panel. You made that would be so awesome. Cause I'm doing my mega cab 06 dodge Ram. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Where are you located and when is your next availability?
Excellent work,I have the same issue on my 06 Hemi was wondering how to best do the inside and what’s guage metals, was wow hat brand of quarter panels you used
That is a proper repair job right there!
Fantastic video!! Getting to see the breakdown on the layers was incredibly helpful and I learned a great deal! Thank you for this video.
Where are you located?
I don’t care what anybody says about what you did it looks perfect to me and that’s exactly what I need to do
Ty for sharing your video
I have a 2010 ram 1500 and it looks similar to what you are doing hopefully not as bad but you just never know until you start doing it
How long did it take start to finish?
HOLY SHIT IT'S RUSTIER THAN MINE
Wow. This was an excellent video covering this repair. I honestly was shocked seeing the inner rocker panel just evaporated like that. It's amazing how bad that rust was. Great work on covering that. I know this video is old and I will subscribe and watch more, but just wondering what welder and what weld through primer you use? I kinda wonder seeing the inner panels with all the holes in them – do they have adequate drainage if salty water gets in there. I saw you addressed it with the replacement panels. I am looking at some 3rd gens and considering how much rust repair I want to get involved with. Saw one in Indiana that has some rust starting on the drivers side. Where there is rust there is more rust…
Do you still have any access to get behind or inside those rockers and or corner with fluid film spray wands? I feel like annual application for any vehicle in the rust belt is a necessity to keep these trucks from rusting into the earth. I really like fluid film and supposedly there's a new one from PB Blaster I think.
