85 CUCV Rocker Panels and Floor Pans

[KF4ACN]

Has anyone ever replaced any of the Rocker Panels and or the front and read floor pans on their trucks. Mine have some serious rust holes in the back area just behind the front seats. The rocker panels are rusted out as well. Is there any tricks or things I should look out for while doing this.

Thanks
John

You can buy the rockers and other sheet metal parts at LMC Truck, then you either need to learn to weld or find someone else that can does welding for a decent price. Good luck!

Thanks for the info ! I am going to go look into doing it with some panel bond as it will seal better than doing a lot of spot welds.

Thanks Again
John

Thanks Eric, That link is awesome That is how I'll be getting my sheet metal done.
In addition to LMC, you should look into Classic parts and Goodmark Industries for sheet metal.
