rocker panels
hey i have a 92 extended cab and i need some replacement rocker panels for both side. does anyone know where or if they have replacements for an extended cab? and also does anyone know of some headers that work for the 92 magnum?
unfrtunately, that aint gonna be easy to find
i hope your good with tin snips, sheet metal, die grinder, and a welder
or,
what you could do is get some 20 or 22 gauge steel, (from a steel wholesaler NOT your local store they rip you off). Then you know where the body panels have a break/bevel on them? Starting from there start shaping the sheet metal down to the bottom with snips and a rubber mallet. you can rivet it in and cover with bondo. You can paint it, or you can use a super heavy black undercoating (which is what id do - youll never have to worry ever again). Go to a wrecker, rip off the outer trim of any vehicle you like (or buy new, as long as you get enough - measure first) and then glue the trim down right along the beveled area where your new steel meets the old.
plenty of people have done this, and its done in a couple afternoons, and whatever they charge you fo new rkcer panels - if they exist - this will be cheapep

wow thanks for the info. i guess making it myself sounds like the way to go. outside of finding a truck with clean rocker panels, which is unlikely around here, oh well thanks.

Good timing. I'm picking up a parts truck over spring break that I'm told needs a rocker panel from being smashed. I guess it is a parts truck...I'm using the front clip, cab, and probably the engine. Maybe that makes my truck the parts truck?

even if you find a truck with clean rocker panals....how are you gonna get them from one truck to the next?
