58 rocker panel replacement

Has anyone ever replaced the rocker panels on these trucks? Not the entire piece that has the step area inside the cab just the curved rocker panel that lines up with the cab corners and fenders. the cab corners have been cut out and are being replaced too. Any ideas on how I can get everything to line up?

Re: 58 rocker panel replacement

Patience, they were a rough fit from the factory. Sill to back corner is not to bad but if you are anal about it you will end up cutting and dropping the front fender, which causes a whole other problem with the front wheel well. I had not noticed mine until it was brought up here and decided I could live with it.
