Replacing Rocker Panels

[Tuck73]

I’m replacing my rocker panels. Anyone have any instructions or videos?

If the tops are good,just replace the sides,not bad to do....

No video. Pretty easy job. Clean all the spot welds so you know where you’re going. Good spot weld cutter, make sure to only cut one layer. Very easy to punch all the way through.
Clean and rust treat everything before replacing. Use welding clamps and screws to position prior to welding. Someone will help out with pics I’m sure. I never took any.

Cut it out and weld in a replacement.. I found some old rockers that were in better shape so I did a swap out. New foreign replacement are just not worth the shipping costs to get them to me.

I think I’m going to have to replace the entire outer half. Someone worked on it before and jacked it up.

Looks like they welded the rocker panel to the rear quarter panel.

Beware lots of aftermarket parts are not even close, pay attention to door gaps....

I found the aftermarket rockers to fit excellent. I replaced both sides.

buy the full factory type rocker assembly's little more but fit better. but they are still not exact fit. I had to move the front fold under the passengers side front fender to fit properly. they were Dennis carpenter brand about 6 years ago but they had proper body curves to the lower rocker face.
