Rocker panels

The rockers seem to have been replaced on my 69 GMC.

There is a gap between the seam the door rubber sits on and the floor. I think the gap is normal, but there is no bottom in the gap is this normal?

I am worried about dirt and crap falling down inside of the rocker panels and then collecting moisture and then RUST!

Has something been done incorrectly, or am I once again misunderstanding something?

Re: Rocker panels

Look under your truck and see if their is a back to your rockers or is it open. The back plate of the rocker normaly has the bottom to the gap that you are talking about. I guess alot of these get left out when people replace their rockers.
I think some were on this board is the How-to posts. I did one last year I think it was on how to build your own inner rocker. Look this thread up and it will show you how yours should look or what is missing.

Re: Rocker panels

My rockers are not open on the bottom.

If something drops into this cap is stays in the rockers.
