Molten steel definitely a preferred connecting method. Mes $6,000 Maco quote is $2,500 in body work alone. Lots material needed as well so big chunk is the body work & parts to fix rot then full repaint.

The OE must be NLA, in 2017 I had just bought all 4 OE Ford tagged pieces from Rock Auto. Give one last check there.

Edit Front left and right appear to be avail from 2001-2005.

Yeah looks like the rears are ther hardest to find. Have debated contacting Custom Autos by Tim in Guthrie, Oklahoma. He’s specializes in custom fab on Ford Ecursion and super duty’s. He will take a 2020 super duty crew cab and depending on bed length will make you a 4-6 door excursion. His most popular trend currently is his Ford Raptor Excursion.

The inner and outer rear door rockers for super duties are too short.
I wonder how close a cab corner would be to cut out just the lower curved portion you need?

I can't speak for personal experience but I have seen a couple of posts in here from people who tried and said they had to modify them a bit to fit.

Might be worth showing them the picture of the cab corner to see if it would save time using a modified cab corner compared to a full fabrication.

From the reviews, the manufacturer on etsy allows returns. At $100 it might be an overall cost saver. (No affiliation with the seller, etc. Just looking for my own Ex)

what vehicle are those for? The supercab corners need extensive modifications. And helpful if you are good with fiberglass. I used them when I did my excursion. Should be pictures in my thread I posted.

That picture is from an f250/350 cab corner. She's trying to get a decent compromise for her Excursion compared to a full fabrication from the body shop.

There unfortunately isn’t anything close to the excursion ones. You either get them cut out of another excursion or you do some extensive fabrication

You mean outer rockers ?
The rocker isnt the issue, its locating dog legs
