Default Inner rockers - drivers side

So the inner rockers along with my outers are rotted drivers side which I plan on fixing. Passenger side pretty minty with some surface rust. Is there an actual OEM equivalent slip-on? Another thing hard to find.... wheel housings.

Looks like I could just get a long piece of sheet metal, cut bad sections off, weld it on, and then put outer on over top.

Has anyone done this kind of repair before? Any advice?

Thanks again guys!

RustRepair.COM has some slip on parts, but that's not quite OEM equivalent. That link is for 1988 Dakotas; swap in your year in the address bar to triple-verify.

They also have some wheel sections, but the inside-the-bed tubs, not so much.

Raybuck is similar in lists, but doesn't have "kits" or the slip-ons like Rust Repair does.

Alas, Sherman seems to be no more; they used to also make quality products.

And of course RockAuto has some; but they're probably Raybuck or Rust Repair or some other source.
