Does someone sell a better fitting rocker panel? I thought I read somewhere that all the reman body panels for these trucks were made by the same company is this correct.

I believe GM rockers are available (gmpartsdirect.com). The GM stuff should be good. Good Luck.

Not all are made by the same company. Tri-Plus has the best and the heaviest ones out there. They are even heavier than the GM ones. We can also sell you Genuine GM but they like to brake the bank. WES

Not sure who makes them, but I got my rockers from the Truck and Car Shop in Cali www.truckandcarshop.com , and they fit perfectly. I only have experience with this set, so I might have just gotten really lucky. Although that's usually NOT the case for me.
