While sanding I managed to find enough rust in the rockers to the point they need replacing, so I ordered new rockers from LMC Truck and started cutting the old ones out. This sucks and I didn't want to be in this position but it is what it is. There was absolutely no dirt in the rockers, it was the salt that ate them up. I've never installed patch panels before but luckily I have a Millermatic and Youtube so the fun begins.

I also overhauled the cooling system with a new radiator, new hoses, thermostat, a 12" electric cooling fan and a 18" electric fan. I don't want to ever worry about this engine overheating. Also nothing cool but replaced the battery and all the belts. Also ordered new window seals, outer door handles, interior light, and cargo light all from LMC truck.
