I need to replace rusty rocker panels on my 1988 F350 crew cab. Does anyone know of a source on rocker panels for the rear doors, tips, tricks, ideas? They only seem to sell them for the front doors and nothing for the rear or for the post between the doors. It looks like the front rockers might work on the back doors, not sure. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

 

Subbed. I'd like to know this as well

 

Buy four repair panels and cut the rears to fit… then fabricate what you need to from new 18 ga. steel.

 

Aftermarket (junk) is normally many many thousandths thinner, softer material --- they often use different alloys and sometimes buy old (badly worn) dies to stamp the "new" aftermarket stuff. Fit is questionable as they try "copying" (ie. reverse engineering) the original /molds.

You'd be better served finding a set in a salvage yard, bringing the metal back to original, then welding that "new" OEM metal into your truck.

 

Agreed 100%

 

Thanks for the advice. Transplanting was tue method i had in mind. But thats easy for the fronts but hard to find a crew cab for cheap to cut up. Thats why i was wondering if the fronts can be used for crew rear rockers

 

Even better. Find a CLEAN 2wd and do a whole body swap.

I am sure if your rockers are bad, so is the cab corners and front body mounts, along with a host of tother panels
