Best cab sheet metal?

I’m looking for the rockers, sills and front left floor pan. Does anyone have any personal experience with these parts and who do you recommend?

as far as I know there is no reproduction lower door sills as I’ve been looking for floors and door sills the floor patches you can buy off eBay I heard aren’t the best I read one review saying they don’t have the hole to mount the cab down

I have the Ebay LH floor plan. Not close to the correct shape and no holes. I have the rear set too, did not use them either

These are the parts I’m looking for. #5. Cab step riser, #4. Cab step and #3. Rocker.
these are lmc truck parts and Mac’s has the step and riser but no rocker. Both companies claim to have them in stock. I’ve looked for the floor patch pans but none look any good and going by your feedback they aren’t any good.
Do you guys know anything about the parts I just listed??

also I want to thank you guys for your feedback!!!

classicfabrication.com your on-line source for floorpans for your classic car
They have floor pans.

Below is from their website:These days the word "Classic" is used so often you wonder if there are any traces of the original meaning.

However, not everyone has lost sight of what classic really means - stroll through the door of Classic Fabrication in Surfside Beach, SC and you will be greeted by just that - classic cars and trucks.

Since 1986 Rich Gunther and his son Rick have applied their welding wizardry to a great range of antiques, hot rods, classic and muscle cars.

After years of welding frames, quarters, engine compartments, rocker panels and floorboards, Rich came up with the idea to start making templates for the 50's and 60's cars that no one else makes the floor pans for. We now have been making them since 1995. We also make rocker panels, inner rocker panels, some floor braces and quarter repair panels.

We cater to mostly 1950-64 Buicks and Cadillacs, also certain year Oldsmobile, Chrysler and Ford products.

Call us for information on any of the products you see on this site or if you have any questions.

the company that just brought out the new cab corners for the 57-60 f100. ( ems automotive) says they are going to have all the cab parts in the spring starting just after the new year, the can corners they made are great.

Pics of the floor pans. They match their braces but do not match the profile of the stock cab braces.

Guess I better check the steps on my old cab before I haul it to neighbor's scrap pile. May be of value to someone.

captmrtal, thank you! Hopefully they will have what I’m looking for soon because my landlord is taking the shop back from us in June so I have limited time to complete my truck.

JohnNewb, it never hurts to try and sell what you have before throwing it out. You never know. Post some pictures if you can.
