Help 99 QC floorpan to rocker patch panel

[Joe Mc]

I'm not having any luck online (Goodmark, Keystone, LMC Truck) trying to find the panel needed to continue rust repairs.

Looking for left side rocker to floor pan. As you lay under truck and look at the cab floor under the door opening, what I needs is where the cab floor drops to the rocker (can't call it an inner rocker cause it is the part of the floor pan that the inner and outer spot welds to).

I'm at an all stop till I can find this part. Inner rocker and outer are OK, part I need is not...

Thanks they sell sections but only flat = to center hump or to door opening/rocker.
I did find a lead @ Mill Supply, Inc (mill supply.com) They show part number 80-94-72-LH and and OEM/Other # 809472L in the picture along the left edge you see 2 dimples (weep holes) at the very bottom it appears to show a section that drops below the actual pan. I think this could do but might be a bit short in length. $128+ and they're out of stock, "Order now and set. shipping 14 days" My truck has been cut apart for a few weeks now...

Sorry if attached won't work, I'm dead been searching for like 3 hours now. Fin fo dah day

I know this may sound out there. Can you get two, cut and weld to make what you need. I know I am talking $256 but sometimes you have to do what you need to.

Found inner (what they're calling it) and outer, both sides on ebag 1994-02 DODGE RAM P/U 4DR QUAD CAB INNER & OUTER ROCKER PANELS PAIR $170.15 free shipping! Only catch I need to wait till 5/17.... Beats being more frustrated and or making my own or hunting in scrap yards. Plus it'll give me (hopefully) what I need for the pass side that the underside looks like it has a decent bubble...
Thanks for your efforts.

Tenacity pays off. Glad you found some.

 

[Joe Mc]

New under & outer came in Monday. Today I removed from center of most forward weep hole thru rubber plug holes back. Inner support rocker is toast. Tonight I'll search for them. Joy, not...

Oh boy, the East Coast blues, it's a crying shame this happens.

Indeed. A few years back we went to a family wedding and visited our daughter in the Seattle, WA. area. I couldn't believe all the 1st and 2nd gen trucks, and 30+ year old cars, I saw out there without a speck of rust... Blasted salt!!!

Bill Thanks, already received both sides inner and outer. I was looking for the "internal" rockers. Found them on eBay (vendor Mill Supply) https://www.ebay.com/itm/Inner-Rock...00-3500-Dodge-Ram-Quad-Cab-PAIR-/202487855586 $257.58 includes tax and free shipping. No confirmation on anticipated delivery yet. Got to love the inter-web!

On Edit: When these trucks rust out they hide all the bad stuff that's sandwiched in between the parts you can see IE: Outer and Inner (as they're called) Note See previous post where I got inner & outer both sides... You'd think the outer inner and under cab vertical would be available as a pair. Oh well at least I found them.

I hear ya on that. My 98 was originally from Jersey. Then it went to the man I got it from in Pa when I lived there so it lived in the northeast salt from 98 until 2018 until I headed south to Ga. Almost no rust on trucks here. I have another bed, tailgate, both front fenders and found a guy who does mobile welding to weld in new inner and outer rockers that I hope to get done within a few months. Then comes a paint job. The man I get parts from here deals strictly with Dodge. He sold me the bed for $300 with a few minor dings but no rust. He sells to a few guys who comes down from NE and Canada. They pay this guy $500/bed and sell them for $1,200 up there he said.... for the love of these trucks.

A few years ago I carried a bed from TX to KY. I don't know what the guy paid for the bed but I got $300 for the delivery. A nice bonus since I was going north anyway. His house was about a 200 mile side trip.

Wasn't Leitchfield or Richmond was it? I lived there for 5 years and knew 2 guys who were big into the Dodge's. Albeit rust free from Tx...

Leitchfield sounds familiar. The bed was red and perfectly matched the color of the rusted out bed it was replacing.
