Find a couple good body shops in your area, get estimates. See what they have to say.

Bear in mind, body work is never cheap..... Also make sure they use GOOD quality replacement panels, not the cheap chinesium pieces that will only last a day longer than their warranty.

Full inner and outer rocker panels and cab corners will run on average $4,000.All the doors and the bed box usually need to be removed to do it right from what I have seen on these trucks.
