lower rear door pillar problem

i have a 1984 std cab i need to change the full rocker,cab corner,side floor pan,and the outside lower rear door pillar (all left side)

the problem is on all website they ship me a rocker assembly with the door post but they fit only 87 and newer. The front pillar is the same but not the rear one.

did somebody have other website then (keystone,lmctruck,npd,rockauto)

What does the 87-up piece look like? Is it like this piece?
1980-98 Ford Pickup/Bronco OEM Rocker Panel w/Door Post, Driver Side

They also sell this piece now that must repair the rear corner/floor area.
1980-98 Ford Pickup/Bronco Rear Pillar, Standard Cab Only, Driver Side

I use Tabco.
They have the B-pillar corner for 80-86 trucks.

I've never seen the rocker with A or b pillars attached unless it was just the glue on 'slipper' that some people use to hide rot without fixing it.

The major difference with '87 B pillar sheetmetal is the plateau and hole for the seatbelt retractor button down in the corner.
Seat belts all attach to a plate and nut *on the bottom* through the inside rocker.

Tabco 60142 L or R is the bottom of the inner B-pillar

I know they fit because I've used them.

28160 is the INNER panel.

if that's not the one you need, get the cab corner instead.

If you don't believe any of us that have used these parts, go down to the paint and bodywork forum in the misc. category.
Ask some of the body guys down there.

Or call Tabco direct.
They MAKE the panels that they sell right there.

I bought Tabco panels - total newbie - to truck restoration they fit.

AND I shot the the replacement panels with my ultrasonic thickness tester - as thick or better than the body steel on my truck.
