Re: [AMC-list] Rockers needed for 67 Rogue

[Matt Haas <mhaas@xxxxxxx>]

I'll second AJ on a used frame sill. I've bought several chunks of used 
metal from him and I've been pretty happy with what I got.

The repro rocker panels (I think the inners are available as well but 
you'll need to fab up the reinforcement if that is bad) are pretty nice 
but they don't have the drains in them the factory ones have. You'll 
need to add them or they will rust out. Also, due to the way these are 
typically stacked, expect it to be splayed out a little bit but if you 
gently work it back, it will fit in nicely. I used one of these panels 
to fix the driver's side rocker on my 68 4 door several years ago. You 
can see what I did starting at
