This is unbelievable too me. no other panels have any showing of rust anywhere, doors seams, etc. I did a little googling to find out these trucks are chronic with rusting rockers. I have always taken such good care of this vehicle as it cost me over $40K nearly ten years ago.
I now have a new silverado sitting in my garage now, & this makes my want to sell that truck too. I realize the 2003 is aging, but honestly I have seen vehicles 3 years old in worse condition than how I have kept this one. Even the clear coat on the wheels is in near perfect condition.
I was planing on putting it for sale on craigslist this weekend, & now I need to look into replacing the entire rockers. Something stinks with this...... & it isn't going to be cheap to fix.... I am not happy.

I wouldn't fix it. Spend money to fix it only with the possibility to get it back on the sale? Nah.
