I thought I'd let you guy's in on what fresh he11 I had to go through to put my rocker panels on. I know I've talked about this before on this thread and on
MCBASSIN's thread,, it's nice that the aftermarket makes parts for these old trucks,, but it would be nicer if they actually fit. I bought these from
Brothers Truck and I used the video's on "mobile hot rod repair .com" which were helpful,, but in order to get these rockers to correctly line up with the door, the front fender and the cab corner,, I had to "split" the rocker lengthwise. I know I'm not the only one who's had to do this , I've seen others on this site who had to do the same.

After I split the rocker panel I welded a piece of half inch flat bar to inside of the split.
