Where is the best place to buy rocker panels? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well, that's pretty much my question. I need to replace both of mine. Anyone got any ideas on the best made and best priced rocker panels?

They all seem about the same quality, mine came from JC Whitney and fit perfect. I think they cost around $15 each, but this was before I knew of this board and the venders.

try some of the board dealers.....

are you replacing just the outer units...?

Outer Units.....that's a good question. If you can define outer and their counterpart (inner?) then I will be able to tell you. I didn't know there was more than one! I'm not an old hand, but hey, you gotta start somewhere.

I agree - check the vendors here on the board.
I'd guess only 1 or 2 companies actually manuf them. maybe one in the USA & one overdseas?

Outer rockers are what you see from the outside. Inner rockers are a bolt on brace needed for structural integrety. Most cases the inners need replacing if the outers are gone. The inners are cheaper than the outers. I too would suggest going with one of the board vendors.
