Don’t walk away... run!

No idea what a shop would charge, but if the rust is worse than what mine was, I’d run far away from that sale. It’s not worth the cost/effort to repair it as you have no idea what’s hiding underneath until you cut it open.

Iv got a 2000 that iv gotta replace the rocker panels on. My inner rocker panels are shot and will have to be cut out. Do you think I could still use the square tubing like you did? Mine will be a work/hunting truck so I’d like to do the repair myself instead of paying a shop.
