They make slip on rockers. They dont fit for shit but if you are just trying to pass inspection they would work.

This thread is relevant to my interests for cosmetic reasons.
What's the safety/inspection issue with rusted out rockers? |

I'm doing a full weld in set of rockers on my Silverado right now. The slip on one's that I've seen go over the outer rocker not the inner.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ark-and-spark: Your state inspects for rust? Yeah guidance issued from the state includes the following RUST If substantial rust is observed externally on a vehicle during a safety inspection, it should serve as an indicator for the inspector to look more closely at other areas of the vehicle (frame, flooring, etc.) as these areas may be compromised. The following would be cause for rejection under the passenger car and light truck inspection procedure: rust that permits exhaust gases to enter the passenger or cargo compartment; protruding metal, loose or dislocated parts protruding from the surface so as to create a hazard; bumpers that are rusted so they are not firmly attached or have broken or torn portions protruding so as to create a hazard; and frames that are not in solid condition. Inspectors should follow the specific inspection procedure for the type of vehicle being inspected to determine pass/fail conditions. |

Are you able to get to the back side of them to paint them after welding, so they don't rust out again real quick? |

LMC trucks might have what you need. I know they sell replacement panels and body components to weld in.

I have nothing constructive to add to the thread, but to say that PA vehicle laws really suck.
I’m planning to move over the border from NY in not too long for obvious reasons (only 10 minutes away from the border as it is). Somehow PA seems to out commie NY by a mile with car laws. Fender flare and tire poke laws, can’t take my Jeep doors off, rust makes you fail inspection. I thought it was a free state Seems like every pa truck i see in town has pieces of metal pop riveted over the rust holes like that somehow makes it more structurally sound |

I've got an '05 Explorer with rusty rockers and looked at the slip-over covers.
I decided to replace the rockers because I'd rather remove the rust than hide it. I bought replacement rockers off of Ebay and will weld those in. Only the portion by the rear doors is rusted, so I'm debating whether to weld in just that portion, or the entire rocker. If you only want to hide the rust, those slip-ons are a huge time saver. |

West Virginia or wherever. Tom Wolf is working VERY hard at making sure this state turns HARD blue this year. Local and state. Not just state. |
