My truck (86 c10) is a little rusty it needs one rocker both cab corners inner fenders and a small bit of floor, was wondering what the repair will cost? I would be doing it myself

Without repaint?

I could definitely see it. I’m by no means an expert but good metal work ain’t cheep.

Oh shit, my bad I didn’t see that part. Probably a little over $100 but less than $500 if you’re getting replacement rockers and corners. If you using bondo probably less than 100. Also, if your doing it yourself don’t ask reddit and just go look at what parts cost.

I've got a rough estimate of about $400 using no name panels from ebay

I just wanted to ask for everyone's opinion

While I can't say the exact cost. Id just sand and possibly bondo that out, regular paint. Or accept it. Mine is worse if you want pics

I'm thinking without the repaint

You could go for a patina persever if you just want to protect it. between 60-120$

Probably just spray a rust converter on it once I patch it, paint it later on

I’m like 90% sure you can just buy cab corners. Unless you wanna go bondos to the wall it’ll be semi pricey. But to be entirely honest. If it’s not that bad, ignore it till you are ready for a paint job. Because you’ll just wanna paint the whole cab at least to make it look good at that point.
