GEN1 sills are WAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY cheaper than GEN2 sills. That price is right or fairly close
I talked to Chuck 2 months ago and there were still like 5 of one side and 10 of the other side in stock and available from Dodge.......guess someone speculated.......can you say severe price increase?
On the old sills they can be rebuilt. The rivets are removed and replaced with aluminum ones (the originial rivets were part of the corrosion problem).
Chuck Tator has a body shop near him that did all of his warranty fixes on the old side pipe sills.
