Michigan rust repair


Recommended Posts

I live in michigan north of Detroit (macomb mi)

 

My rockers now have rust holes and I wanna get them replaced also possibly the truck painted.

 

Does anyone know a good reputable fair priced place to get this work done? A fab shop ext. really just looking for someone to cut out the infected area and bend some sheet metal weld it body fill paint?

 

Also I anyone has had this done prices of what you payed would be nice so I what to expect. Where I'm moving next year uses sand on the roads not salt so rust should be a thing of the past for a while

Call around to local body shops for estimates... it is NOT going to be cheap... But I would recommend getting inner and outer rockers replaced as well as the cab corners. Not the glue on or "covers" but cut out all metal, weld in replacement rockers and have them painted then Fluid film the entire under body of the truck and inside the rockers. Just my 2cents... I know in my area "maine" my friend had his 99 Silverado Extended cab quoted at 2400$ replaced and painted. I would also recommend ordering OEM or better than OEM ( i've seen some stainless ones ) but not the cheap Ebay ones...

Got quoted abt $2500 for rockers and cab corner completely welded and bottom strip of body including lower rear fender sanded down and repainted. (Chipped by rocks and rusted a bit) hard to find a place that will weld... All want to just use bondo.... And body fillet...

 

Tempted to just have the whole truck repainted into of it...
