replacement rocker panel question

Does anyone know if the rocker panel sections that LMC or the like sell include the ridge that the door gasket sits on? LMC in particular also offers a slip-on rocker panel. Anyone ever dealt with either of these from them?

Catalog page here: Truck Parts and Truck Accessories

Thanks.

its not a rocker panel you need, its the outer floor pan PN 49-8822, 49-8823 59.99 each from LMC. I recommend looking at bronco graveyard for these parts they are the same gauge 18, and quite a bit cheaper. The weather stripping is also available there.

The slip on rocker does have a lip. The outer floorpan also has a lip. That is how the factory put that part of the truck together, and the replacement panels do have this lip.

So in other words, the lip is not really there just for the rubber. It's where the factory spot welded the floorpan to the rocker. If you look really close on a good part of the lip, you will see it's actually two pieces of metal side by side.

I'm going junkyard browsing tomorrow for fenders, but from what I've seen online, Amazon (with Prime membership) has the cheapest prices because they offer free shipping. I'm going to also start grinding away at the body rot some tomorrow, probably while seriously considering a cab swap. Thanks for all the info.
