Technical What is it part ?Rockers for A 1933 ford or A 1958 corvette or ?junk

So I got this pair of rocker looking things years ago. I never know what they were but didn’t want to throw them out as they might be needed by someone. I’m doing some spring cleaning and is it garbage or a good part
Well I’m not a 33-34 guy or a corvette guy and that’s is what this dude had model a ford 1931 roadster 1934 roadster and 1958 vette so what it it?
Thank you

 

Could they be the filler strips that go under the rocker on an Australian 34 Ford?

 

Steel (visible rust and spot welds) = not Corvette

 

I agree with Corn Fed, filler panels for an Australian '33/'34 Ford. How long are they? Very rare items. My '34 roadster is an Australian car and I had to make my own panels when I put my car together in the 1980's.

 

@treb11 Oh yeah I forgot the corvette is fiberglass lol
@Corn Fed he did have a nice 33 roadster that was restored and didn’t look at it to see if she was a American body or not @SkyDriver They area 57 inches long and my pheaton is American made so I can’t compare them do you have a picture?

 

Could be from one of the very few prototype Vette's crafted in the GM Art Center in '51 before the design was approved and production commenced using fiberglass.

 

@squirrel that looks like it did they go on all the models.

 

Squirrel is right, Aussie 1933/34 valance spears, for all Oz passenger cars. Hard to find originals as most are rusted away. Repros were available.
57 1/2 inches long, just measured the ones I have for my Aussie project.

 

@mvee33 thank you for the information and not sure if this is a replacement or not. Do you know the difference or details between a American body or import. I know the difference on a 1932 pheaton . I have a 1933 pheaton and this part came along years after getting the pheaton but would love to educate myself on the difference

 

John, there are many opinions on the 33/34 Ford Aussie body history.
This is my opinion on the roadster bodies.
I have an original Aussie 1933 B standard roadster that has the vacuum line hole through the cowl for the wiper on the left hand side, it has the shorter doors, valance spears, pie sectioned and leaded cowl base to suit the raised wooden floor with B steel toe board that has been factory chopped short also to suit the raised floor (about 1 1/2 inches). The wood in the A & B pillars according to my woodworker is American ash and the floor wood crossmembers are Australian jarrah.
Almost every part except for the right hand drive and raised floor related parts are the same as US assembled roadsters and some have been converted to the US body, with a steel floor and patch panels. There are unique badges, wiper motor and the door hinges are different on the Oz cars.
My opinion is that all these roadster bodies were stamped as US bodies in one place and the knocked down cars sent all over the world. The bodies sent to Oz were chopped up, modified and assembled with a local labour requirement in Geelong Australia, to right hand drive specs with local wood content added, valance spears etc.
Hope this is useful.

 

@mvee33 thank you for the great info and will add this to my 33-34 restoration book. You would have thought they would have added such differences in the publication.
How much shorter are the doors?

 

How much shorter are the doors?[/QUOTE]
John, the shortness of the doors differs from front to rear, it tapers as per the valance spear, but is about 3 inches shorter at the B pillar.

 

Thank you for the information @mvee33 as my 33-34 restoration manual doesn’t have much in it one the model y.
I had to check if my 1933 standard pheaton had the on it. The gentleman I got them from was good buddies and went to Hershey together..
