Default 01 chevy silverado 1500 ls rocker panels...

Looking for an easy way to repair my rocker panels and increase my trucks look and value. Its all rusted out on the lower rocker panels on both sides of the truck. whats a quick way to clean up all that rust and get a chrome looking finished product?

Can use diamond plate panels bent and cut to fit if you want to just cover up the rust. If it were me, I'd cut out the rotten panels and weld in new ones that you can order for relatively cheap. Fix it right, coat all your work properly with primer and paint, and you'll be okay. Then just keep the truck cause Chevy's last forever

I would agree
Replacement panels are cheap and makes the repairs SO much easier
