'90 hilux Restoration questions

My hilux is starting to rust. Rocker panels under the doors are really bad. I was wondering if anyone on here has made their own, or if there were any diagrams of just the rockers so when I fabricate new ones I know exactly what shape they need to be? Any help is appreciated.

I think they have them here. Beats making them yourself

another option is to cut out rockers and weld in some rectangle tube - it'll act as a low-profile rock slider too! it's a variation of boatsides on your rig. here's the first example i saw on google:

Check pirate4x4 (or a site where more hardcore wheelers hang out) for more examples of this., there are some variations. I've seen some tied in to frame and some just on the body.
