Rocker question

Another new guy here with my first question, I have a 69 that I am restoring , ok so the PO started the restore about a year ago, he did the rocker inner and outer panels , and cab corners , But let just say that his installation was less then desirable .

So I am in the process of redoing all his work
I ordered new full outer rockers and new cab corners ,I made the mistake of not ordering Inners ,thinking I can deal with the PO inner rocker work , NOT So

So my question is can someone tell me the correct dimension s of the Inner Rocker panel ........... also gauge of metal

Re: Rocker question

Thanks for the reply , I agree they are cheep and I would order them , but time is the issue , rockers and cab corners are here , I have correct 4' x 4' sheet of 18 ga auto panel grade sheet metal a 4' finger brake ,4' jump sheer . I am a sheet metal worker by trade so really no big deal for me to make .even if its a rolled piece , I have the equipment , Just looking for dimension .

Re: Rocker question

I just got my inner rockers from TABCO and them measure 40" long x 6" high. 3 5/8 then a 90 degree bend, 1 1/4 then another 90 degree bend the opposite way leaving 1 1/8. I had to trim some of the edge by the cab corner, but I opted for the longer length so I could trim if needed.

Hope this helps
