Inner and outer rockers meet at the pinch weld. Don’t know I’ve ever seen one rust out without both going at once. 

My outside rocker was rusted through but the inside was in good shape. Odd product to bring to market ahead of other items

Same here, but that's not why I am commenting. I just wanted to say that it makes me so happy that you paint everything before putting it back together to prevent rust in the future. You see a lot of people that don't do that (more so on Facebook than on here) and I love to see people doing the job the right way.

Thanks! I used 3m panel bond which needs clean metal but everywhere that didn’t get panel bonder got epoxied and/or POR15’d. The factory pinch welds and seam sealers were a terrible design in certain areas imo. The water gets trapped in the seam and slowly starts the oxidation process. The rockers, floors, rear cab bulkhead and bed wheel arches are great examples of this :sad2:

That panel bonding adhesive is good stuff! And there's nowhere for the moisture to get in. I'm with you on pinch welds and seam sealer. And it's so hard to find until its wrecked the panel. Butt welding > Lap welding in most situations.
