Inner rockers

Hey,

Anybody have some pics of how the inner rocker attaches to the inside of the outer rocker? Just replaced the floor and they don't mate up. I've been looking through the search mode on this, but can't find any pics. Also read the debates on inner rocker trapping moisture vs no inner rocker, so, I'm trying to decide if I even have a problem here. (seems to be a lot of people on both sides of this issue.)

Re: Inner rockers

You replaced your entire floor ? So you should have new inner rockers. The rockers have a lip on the bottom that kindve grabs the bottom of the inner rocker

Re: Inner rockers

I did replace the whole floor. The inner rockers don't meet the bottom of the outer rockers. The doors fit, and the gaps about right, so I'm not really sure what happened. Think I'm going to extend the inners to me the rocker because it bothers me that its not right.

Re: Inner rockers

It should be a basic flat sheet there between the A and B pillar. The rockers are spot welded at the top and along the lip at the bottom.Jim

Your rockers may be off, I can measure my inner rocker from top to bottom if you'd like, maybe give you an idea where you're having the issue

Thanks, but their all welded in. Everything else is fine. Their not coming off again until they rust off.
The outer rockers are where they need to be for the doors, so, I'm not sure what happened.

Re: Inner rockers

this is where I spot welded it in along the floor and on the bottom edge. Does this help?

Re: Inner rockers

I'm fitting my PS outer rocker and the inner is about 1/2" short of reaching the outer rocker flange. Sounds like it's a common issue. Using TriPlus panels from top banana.

Re: Inner rockers

The cab Kit i just installed on a customers truck I did the drivers side first and that is the one that needed the filler panel made to fix the rocker. Now when i moved on to the pass side I figured the same would occur but no, the rh rocker fit the lip like it should. I said before it could be the stamp or the stamper making things a little more fun for us out in the world.
