Starting to replace my rockers, have ???'s - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

KrazyKevin · 11-17-2008, 05:03 AM

Sorry if this is a newb question, but I see so many rocker pieces that I don't know exactly which I need. I just ordered the Goodmark outer rocker panels from summit. I have a feeling I'm gonna need more metal. Here are a few pics of what I'm dealing with.

To me it looks like the outer rocker and a portion of the cab. But after looking at many websites selling rocker panels, I see a few items related to the rocker panel area. Is there a website that someone knows that has a detailed view of this area? I have the factory assembly book but it really doesn't get into the cab since its welding together.

Thanks

Kevin

Don't know of a good website that shows everything, but looks like you will need more than just a rocker. You will probably need to replace the inner and outer rocker, front door pillar, kick panel, and some of the floor. Like most of us you will probably find more rust once you start to take everything thing apart.

Is he selling them again. Last I talked to him he didn't have anymore and didn't know when or if he would have more.

Looking at the pics I would say floor extentions, rockers, and kick panels. What I don't see in the picture and is of concern is the front floor supports, rear floor supports, and once the rockers are removed front door pillars. WES

I know a place that rents the for $25(not me). If you are interested, PM me. I plan to rent them around Christmas, but they probably have more than one set.

You need an LMC catalog.They are a bit Pricey on parts but their catalog has more detail than most any other reference on these trucks.Also if you have the oppourtunity many of the BB vendors will have great pricing on the parts you need and they help support the BB.
