I was wondering if anyone knew the dimensions of the inner and outer rocker panels. I would like to bend some up myself but there is nothing left there to reference. I am pretty sure the dimensions are the same up to 54, and fleetline dimensions may work too. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I’m sure someone can dig up exact dimensions. But if you’re doing it yourself. As long as you bend your outer good to match the shape. You can make your own inner. The inner connects the bottom of the outer structure. Can add some more structure support in the form of inner framing. But if you’re confident enough to build it yourself. I don’t think you need factory specifics.
53 and 54 are different than 49-52. they have kind of a flare at the bottom. you really need to show a picture of what you have. what you are asking us is how long is a piece of string
Well I don't really need a length so much as I need the profile but if a pic helps I will get one. I appreciate the reply
Your right about the inner. Guess it would be kind of hard to measure if its already attached to the car lol. I was a bit tired when I posted this.
So this is the mess I am dealing with, not much to go from. 20250830_211205 by dmoses posted Aug 30, 2025 at 9:17 PM 20250830_211216 by dmoses posted Aug 30, 2025 at 9:17 PM 20250830_211227 by dmoses posted Aug 30, 2025 at 9:17 PM 20250830_211231 by dmoses posted Aug 30, 2025 at 9:17 PM 20250830_211244 by dmoses posted Aug 30, 2025 at 9:17 PM
I would definitely buy the outer rockers, at least the part where the lower rear bulge is in the quarter panel. I have pictures somewhere of a 51 I did, but can't seem to find them.
That was what I planned as I don't have any tools/equipment to do those. I figured I could just buy those and might be able to bend the rockers from what dimensions are on those but I wasn't sure if they would be the same or if they would be a little bigger for the transition... kind of low on funds to buy those right now in all honesty but have sheetmetal and access to a 4-5ft brake. If all else fails I will wait to buy those to get some
