Fixing Rusty Rocker Panel And Cab Corner - 2004 Chevy Silverado.

So we finally decide to repair the rust rocker panels and cab corners on my girlfriends 2004 Chevy Silverado. This video focuses on the passenger side. A future video will show the body filling and finishing of the project.

If you want to protect this car and be definitively efficient against rust , you should put grease everywhere. grease is the only thing very efficient against rust. put grease between metal and carpet, inside door, behind metallic bumper, under the vehicle, behind the repairs you can make (everywhere inside the body - hidden erea - instead of using paint), hollow areas (necessarily hidden, so no need to be aesthetic). For rear wings unreachable with a paintbrush, use an extender and pour old oil everywhere each year. Rust almost always comes from the inside and welds. Handyman Experience - 35 years. From france

My son has a 03 GMC rusted up like yours on the rockers! Thanks for the video ! 👍😁

[@A.D.R.J.Coleman]

They All do unfortunately, it's a GM thing

[@danieltroyer2346]

​@A.D.R.J.Coleman I have an 2007 dodge ram 1500 that's in way worse condition it's not just a gm thing

[@A.D.R.J.Coleman]

@@danieltroyer2346 90% of the older GM trucks have rusted rockers and around the rear wheel around the bed

[@FWJosh43]

​@A.D.R.J.Coleman i have a ford f150 and it's the same thing. When you live up North, it doesn't really matter what truck you have. It will rust.

Nice job on putting rocker panel in and cab car

[@JohnRushing-zd3ql]

Good video to the point no bs. Thanks for sharing.

[@JackDroneweaver]

Thanks john.

[@billball656]

I feel like you could’ve benefited from removing the bed

[@Swanlord05]

I just cut out the rust that was bad in the corner. ....the I laid the new corner on top of the good metal and silicone sealed and riveted in place and body painted.....looks good simple

[@JackDroneweaver]

Ya that might be the way id do it if it was my truck but the owner wouldn’t be happy haha.

[@jonathanyates5198]

Silicone won't do anything but keep from rusting and eventually those rivets will come loose. If you wanted to avoid welding, you should've used panel bond. I use to work in a body shop

Great video thanks for sharing

[@roywilliams4855]

No nozzle on the Welder? Didn't clean the paint off either?

[@JackDroneweaver]

Was using flux wire no gas. I can see better and easier to use. Paint burns off lol

[@larryfournier4403]

Those slip on rockers are junk, your better off with the full rockers cause they are alot thicker metal.

[@jemes502]

All welded and be rusty by next week

[@jakewinkelvoss8880]

What welder do you run

[@JackDroneweaver]

An old Miller.

[@atlmv3255]

You need to close the weld ..its all going to rust like this

[@stanjr1968]

I would not use any spray foam in their air, collect moisture, and rotted out again

[@JackDroneweaver]

Ya. I ended up not doing it for that reason.

[@ryantong5647]

Part 2?

[@JackDroneweaver]

Its coming. Winter slowed us down.

[@Swanlord05]

Plasma cutter baby

[@JackDroneweaver]

Gotta get me one some day

[@zkgarage1939]

Never a goid idea to cut sheet with a plasma. It will warp.

[@lancemoon3444]

Why do all that work to use spray foam? Makes no since
