![]() ![]() ![]() Don't you just love the Internet? ![]() Here ya go...enjoy ![]() On early cars a sacrificial panel was placed behind the front tires and ran to the rear of the car. It was covered with a rubber matting to keep things quiet. It was originally called a rock deflector. As body building techniques evolved and running boards and stand alone front fenders went away, the name rocker panel stuck and now it is the part of the lower body work between the wheel wells. |

Re: rocker panel??
I don't know why its called a rocker panel but I do know that I just replaced mine. I got some replacements that were made in Taiwan and they didn't fit very well at all. I ordered a couple from Tabco and I got some cab corners too. These Tabco parts fit very well.
