Crew Cab Rocker Panels??
Know where i can find replacement rocker panels for my 94 F-350 full 4 door crew cab?
I am currently fixing the only rust on my truck... Which is suprosingly bad. I cant find them anywhere and am thinking about just bending some sheet-steel and making my own to weld in.
I know i can purchase front rockers for a regular-cab truck, but if there is a complete front and rear it will save me some time. The bottom of the Pillar is pretty bad as well... I think im going to have to fabricate that myself?
I posted a pic in my album on this forum of the rust - cut out.

Get a local steel fab shop to make some for you, take in a section of the rocker so they can get the shape and they can bend it up in whatever length is necessary.
This in my experience usually ends up being cheaper than aftermarket stuff, you can choose the ga of steel instead of the flimsy aftermarket stuff which is usually thinner than stock steel, and no waiting for it to show up in the mail. Rockers especially on these trucks are real easy to replicate as they are the same shape front to back.

Thanks guys! I will definitely be making my own with some good local steel. I cant believe that the entire rest of the truck is in great shape but it is rotten just at the rockers... Must be because of the constant washing while it was at the fire house.
Thanks again!
Thanks again!

Hi, I know this is an old thread, but how did it work making your own? Need to do the same thing on my truck.

Looks great! I ended up buying a rust free cab but kinda want to try this. It does look like a lot of work but yours turned out awesome and I bet it will hold up longer too.
