Angry 2003 Silverado Rust Bucket

I am detailing my 2003 Silverado that am putting up for sale soon. I have owned it since new. The truck has 87K miles on it, No dings, dents or scratches. Being a car guy, I have kept it in the garage 95% of the time & car washes regularly. looking underneath it today, I noticed some bubbling on the rockers & was absolutely shocked when I pushed on a bad spot & my fingers went right through! 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.
