Is this a good rocker? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I got 2 of these in the deal on the 70, are these a good brand or part of the crappy ones. Says made in taiwan. I'm guessing crappy ones?

dfwright · 12-04-2011, 04:23 PM

It's a triplus, and 1.2mm thick. I used these on mine, and found them to be fine. The thickness is the same or close to OE, and the fit was good for me, with only minor tweaking.

eightbanger · 12-04-2011, 05:02 PM

It's generaly agreed that Triplus are a better fit and quality than most.....ie Goodmark.

no moa · 12-04-2011, 05:04 PM

Cool! Thank you. I'll use them for my 72 cab.

Those are the ones we used on my '67 and they worked out good, of course with a little massaging. They seemed to be good quality and sturdy.

bmfm64 · 12-04-2011, 07:00 PM

I used the same brand on my 78 and they worked great.

Triplus rockers fit fine. I probably installed more than anyone here

burb71 · 12-04-2011, 08:55 PM

I have had a set of tri plus rockers instaled on my 71 Burb and on my 68 Pickup, I had a NOS set of GM rockers and the tri Plus we're heaver metal than the NOS GM so I used the Tri + and sold the NOS set.

redbaron69 · 12-04-2011, 11:17 PM

I must be one of those people, because I have no clue who that is, and I have no clue when that is. But, if I had to guess, I'd say Eddie Van Halen circa early 80's?

You got it... Eddie Van Halen and that guitar is the same design as their 1984 album titled 1984. So, good guess!

Then I must be REALLY old, I thought I was going to see one of THESE !!!

I'm more of a Stevie Ray Vaughn man myself! (I guess he's not a rocker tho

)

I do love Van Halen and Van Hagar tho
