88 f150 Issues
Okay, I have been fixing up my 88 f150 custom extended cab lately and I cannot find Rocker panels for the extended portion of the cab. WIll I have to make these or does anybody know where I may obtain a set?
My other issue is that When I am coming to a stop in a parking lot or similar situation, it seems my wheel locks up and skips on the ground. I notice this happens when My wheels are turned all the way mostly. I am not exactly sure which wheel is the problem. I just took the rear wheels off yesterday and one of the rear brake shoes (drum brakes) was broken. I thought that was the issue but I noticed today that it is still doing this. I will take the front wheels off tomorrow to see.
Anybody have any idea of what might be causing this?
Lastly, I have been looking at flowmaster dual exhaust kits on ebay (about $200.00) that say Fits 88 f150 in the description. I am wondering if this will be a perfect fit, or will I need to do some fabrication to make them work? Anyone have experience with these kits? Thanks

I'd pass on the Flowmaster setup and even that brand. Just buy the muffler and/or exhaust tip of you choice, take it to an exhaust shop, and have them make the tail pipe the way you want it.
As for the rocker panels, LMC has super cab ones. Its on page 14 and #15.

my wheels would do that only in the ikea parking lot ... i go there for the cheap breakfast ... wouldnt dream of buying their disposable furniture. it wouldnt do it anywhere else. must have something to do with the surface ... or my truck was objecting to being on the property of a garbage merchant.
