Inner and outer rocker question... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm replacing the rockers on my 1970 C20. I was wondering if I buy the outer rockers and the complete outer floor section from Classic parts, do I still need the inner rocker panel. I can't tell from the picture, but it looks like the outer floor section has the inner part of the rocker. Anyone know for sure?

You are correct in that the inner rocker is part of the outer floor section. You do not need the inner rocker.

Sorry to but in but, On my 69 C10 the outer rocker panel looks good but the inner rocker panel has a few rust holes. It's mainly in the center of the panel not on edges. Can this be fixed from the bottom with out removing outer rocker panel?

You might be able to do a temporary fix from under, but there is always more rust than you think.

I will have to take a closer look to make sure how much rust I have. Is it normal for inner rocker to be bad and the outer to be in good shape?

What Cuate said, my guess is you will need both. My inner looked good till I started cutting apart the outside rocked. Ended up need inner and outer rockers on mine.
