I have a set of old NOS GM rockers plus a set of new reproduction ones. Big big difference between my two pairs. I'll probably never use them, but I have them if I need them....lol

Dean, do you think they are worth the extra hundred each? How much better are they?

Does anyone know of a brand or at least a place I can get the rockers
that have the full metal. I have a set that are not complete where the
metal turns up to meet the cab kick panel. Maybe that is why GM
rockers are more expensive they provide the complete curve all the way
to the kick panels.

I would say they're worth it. The factory ones fit way nicer. And besides, wouldn't you rather have something that fit nicer than to have someone try to get it to fit (spending time=money) and come out at the same price if not more? The metal is thicker and they fit like a glove. I had NOS ones when I redid my truck and they were black also.

THAT SELLER IS A NEW MEMBER (GONEBAD). IT LOOKS LIKE HE HAS FOUND A GOLDMINE BY SELLING NOS ROCKERS THAT ARE STILL AVAILABLE.

What you describe are rocker covers. The repop rockers do extend up the pillars as the NOS GM ones do.
