Re: need help with rocker panel

where is it not fitting? did you remove ALL of the old one or part of it?


When I did mine I got the gap at the floor lined up and taced in and started working on the gap under the door. If you close the door you can use a small piece of wood to adjust the rocker for a clean door gap.

Re: need help with rocker panel

You need to shape it to fit(hammer and dolly), you cannot just put them on and line right up. Even NOS rockers need a little persuasion(sp) I found that on both my repop rockers that they needed to be reshaped at the cab corners due to poor stamping, but with a little help form the old hameer and dolly things shaped up fairly quick.
