Body Question ????

On average what would it cost a top quality body shop charge to replace a rocker panel . I have a 97 super cab and want to do the right side. I want to have the whole thing replaced front to back. Has anyone had this done ? Any body and fender guys here ?

I cut mine off, leaving the rolled lip just below the door.. cut off a flat strip about 4 inches wide and length of the cab.. Cleaned all inside , redoxide primer and paint... I did not replace the entire panel. I welded back 4 pieces each about 4 x 4 inches so it is stiff, but plenty of room for cleaning and inspection. From the side looking at the truck, you see the lip below the door, but really don't see the rocker panel itself.
