pre/post 79 outer rocker panels (2 Viewers)

[Engineer8000]

The body guy found some bad spots in the top of the outer rockers on my 73 where it rolls out from the top, along the straight part in the middle. He can fiddle with cutting and forming some replacement pieces, but it would be more efficient if I could get him some close to factory pieces to cut from. I cannot find anyone currently selling the pre 79 outer rockers with the contoured tops. I see 79+ parts for sale. Are the two shaped the same at the top? Thanks for the help.

I think he’s looking for the kind that extend up to the threshold, the rolled over top lip.

I had to take another look at the rockers that I posted above and I didn’t realize that they did not have the lip.

I believe that the radius is different between the pre and post 79 rocker/door?
