Do they reproduce this piece?

I thought I'd ask before playing wheres waldo on vendors websites. This piece bolts to the rocker box on the side facing the fender.Any ideas.

Nope, no repros currently produced. It took me quite a while to find one and man was I ever happy when I did.

This was covered once before and no, that piece is not currently in reproduction. Looks like a great candidate though. Perhaps if one could find a decent pair, it could be done through one of the larger venders. Doesn't look like rocket science, just a few uncommon angles and some holes. And, it is a common rustout part of the Blazer/Jimmy's. Does the rocker box have to come out to remove that piece??

Nope, I pulled it out with the rocker box still in place. Mine looks exactly like Alexis.

I know this is old but I gave some bad info I need to correct. I did take mine out with the rocker box still in place, but only because the whole bottom of it was rusted away.

After taking a closer look at the Blazer I realized that if the piece is good it is welded between the rocker box and the rocker panel.

Sorry if I misled anyone on this.

Yup, you can kinda see 3 little tacks at the bottom of the piece in the picture I posted.
