Bad move. DO NOT DO THIS. not chastising, just making sure that everyone
understands. This will virtually guarantee that the rockers will rust from
the inside out. Don't feel bad, I had the same thoughts so I tried it out
on my little truck. It's beat up so I don't really care that much how it
looks (within reason). I filled the rocker area of the cab, (with this
expanding foam) which is constructed very much like the Spitfire sills ,
with the exception that its only two pieces and does not contain the
stiffening third inner section. both sides of the vehicle had bubbles of
rust. The one side I cleaned out and repaired and it hasn't come back.
The other side is still bubbling -
