Replacement rocker panels

Has anyone bought rocker panels and cab floor sections recently and from where? How was the metal thickness and fit?

I bought rockers, floor pans, and cab corners from Bronco Graveyard before last winter. The patches were thicker than the existing floor. The fit on the driver's floor pan was good. Passenger was not perfect. The ribs in the floor pan didn't exactly line up with the factory floor. The passenger side rocker fit great. The driver's side rocker was bowed slightly, with a sag in the middle that required quite a bit of work to get it straight. Everything else was fine.

Thanks. Last time I got sheet metal from them it was good but that was several years ago.

What about inner rocker panels and cab corners, inner and outer?

There are no inner cab corners available as a patch panel, as far as I could find anyway. I think what you're referring to as an inner rocker is actually the outer floor pan. The outer cab corners and outer floor pans from Bronco Graveyard fit fine.

Be aware that nobody makes a patch that also replaces the spot that the seatbelt bolts to on the outer floor pan. I'm sure this is for liability reasons. If you want to replace this area, or the inner cab corner, you're on your own. I had to replace most of the inner cab corner on my '89, and the area that the seat belt bolt to. If you replace that area, you need to reinforce it heavily.

How far into the floor pan, if any, does the outer floor go?


So the floor sections are the firewall and foot well area only? You cannot get the section under the seat back to the rear of the cab? That’s what it looks like from the pictures

The top of the picture is the part that buts up to the pinch seam between the rocker and this piece. When I welded this in, I put holes in the flange for the rocker, and welded through it to the piece shown. The factory has this spot welded together. The flange all the way to the right goes up into the cab corner.

To add to the confusion, I believe the piece shown is for the driver's side, but it is upside down.
