Question about Rocker Boxes... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Trifelynn · 02-18-2005, 03:50 PM

Ok, so I need my rocker boxes replaced. My question is this though.

Has anyone powdercoated their rocker boxes? Does it help at all?
Also, I had the ingenious idea to Rhino-line them...is this a good/bad idea?

Anyone done it...or know what would happen, if it would help with the rust problem?

thanks

Lenny

NO IDEA, BUT I HAVE HEARD OF PEOPLE UNDERCOATING THE INSIDE OF THEM

Trifelynn · 02-18-2005, 04:46 PM

I would think that it would be a good idea...but, since I am half Portuguesse
and half Okie...pronounced...Port-a-Oak...we all know that I didn't get the long end of the stick when it came to brains...

haha

I used 3M undecoating on the inside on mine. Its in a spray can and does a great job. I ended up using it for the entire underbody as well.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 02-19-2005, 10:47 AM

I f you have the money get em blasted and coated with rhino or por 15 just make sure you don't get the por on your hands as it dose not come off it wears off..

Trifelynn · 02-19-2005, 01:53 PM
