Replacement rockers?

Hey guys need some help. Where is everybody getting their aftermarket replacement rockers at? Tried classic industries, Orange County truck shop, LMC, CPP. All of them seem to me 1/4” to 3/8” to short at the width on top. My door hangs out over the rocker 1/4 to 3/8 or more... if My only option is to stretch I guess I will have to. Didn’t think the body guys go thru this much trouble for a replacement rocker. Had a set of NOS but couldn’t see myself cutting up for my burb... Thanks Clayton

Re: Replacement rockers?

I got mine through Classic Parts, slightly thin but fit perfectly. The only part I have that didn't fit perfectly was a PS drip rail (had to add a pie cut) but floor, rockers (inner/outer), gas filler panel, cab supports, and DS drip rail from Classic Parts all fit well.
