Yes, you have it... The rockers are under the doors... There are drains at the bottom you can keep open with a screw driver, but don't stop there.

In the forward rear wheel well opening, if you look close there is a rubber plug, which likely has been rust proofed over... Pull that and with a shop vac, vac the rocker out as best you can...

Open the front rocker drain larger with the screw driver as well.

If your a maniac like me.... I go a tad over board, but thats just because I hate rust more than anything...

I get the rockers as clean as I can. I have made access at the front doors and made covers for them.

I will plug all the drains and pour ATF in so it fills all the pinch welds... Then pull the stopers and drain the ATF out, and heated and oiled roofing tar and attempt to get everything in there coated. Mac
