Rocker Panel replacement..... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have been looking around at replacement rockers, and want to know just what is getting replaced........I have seen 2 different types.....is there an inside and outside rocker? Or was I looking at the wrong thing....What I saw only cost about $40, and had the metal strip that the Door seal mates with and runs up about 4 or 5 inches up the door pillers.....

Here is a pic of the Pas side that I want to replace......

Also pics of my truck that I am working on.... Passed down from my Grandfather

Getting my Hurst floor shifter in today, also have my Clifford intake, and Holley 390 ready to install in the next week or so......

Any suggestions welcome...............

The inner rocker is a term for an outer floor patch. Rocker sit on top of this part. Look under the truck to see condition of this part of the floor. Brian

yes, it's just a backing plate for the outer rocker. I had mine replaced last fall and it was gone too, but the floor support was good. I paid around $40 for the outer, and 10 or 15 for the backing plate from GMC Paul's. Wish my truck looked as good as yours does now.
