K5 body work

[454-k10]

Does anyone know what I can expect to pay for a shop to replace my rockers and bedsides on my 1974 k5?

It will depend on the area your in, I don't know CO but in Vegas it can run you a lot for labor. You might want to see if some of the guys who do bodywork do any side jobs for extra cash.

What exactly does that mean?

I did my inner rockers, outer rockers, kick panels and floor sections myself.
Prices will depend on your area but I can say it would take 3 - 5 days.
In my area one shop estimated 1000 - 1500 for mine.

It means it's going to be expensive,at least in my opinion. If you want them to match the paint and do all that making it look like it was never done I would guess it's going to cost as much or more than the truck is worth.

I don't mind paying. If it's like 10k, I'll probably learn to do it myself lol. But 5-8k and I'll pay it.

I have rust behind all wheels, cab corners, door bottoms, and in front of the front wheels, wheel arches only slightly. At any rate, a local shop quoted $10k to start if they were to tackle it all and repaint the lower half of everything.
