Re: Original rockers?

Where the rocker meets the cab corner on exposed outer face of them when door is shut is it recessed approx. 1/16"-3/32" from being flush with cab corner? That's generally a good sign they are original as the majority of the time the rocker gets replaced we see everyone flushes the rocker to cab corner face instead of making the rocker face slightly recessed below cab corner outer face where they meet. Based on paint color and deterioration of surrounding metal to rocker matching without seeing the seam I speak of I would guess original.

Re: Original rockers?

I was basing my opinion on the fact that I can see the seam, and the 3 spot welds on the front, most of the replaced rockers I've seen they try and hide the seams with filler

Re: Original rockers?

Paul can you shed some light on Original vs aftermarket rocker panels. Mine need replacing, just outers thankfully but I have held off because of difficulty locating original ones and the crazy money they bring. Can you replace outer rockers with aftermarket ones and be happy with results ?
