View Full Version : Convertible rockers
rustyragtop Jun 15th, 04, 07:49 AM Can anyone point me in the direction as to where the heck i can find full rockers for my convertible. Mine are in very poor shape.I know the inners are avail repop, the rest I know are not. Maybe someone knows a person or a salvage yard that will cut them out for me. Any help would be greatly appreciated. BTW this website is the best. The information is endless. I can read it for hours! email is mikeplusdawn@optonline.net
Thanks,
Mike
HwyStarJoe Jun 15th, 04, 10:00 AM I haven't heard of or found any lately. The Parts Place, Inc. is supposed to be coming out with them sometime.... but who knows.
Anyone hear differently?
69-Z11Pacer Jun 15th, 04, 03:50 PM Contact me if you need them. I have them. Full Complete Rockers. Very Nice.
Gary Dorion Jun 15th, 04, 05:39 PM Firewheel Classics and I think Ricks now have convt inner rocker panels.
rustyragtop Jun 16th, 04, 08:08 AM Thanks for the input guys....Gary, I needed complete rockers, not just inners...but thanks for responding.
67CruiseMasterCamaro Jun 16th, 04, 08:20 AM I have a set (left and right) inner/outer on a donor coupe, that may work. Are they they same? Email me at wolfy948@hotmail.com if you are interested in some pictures to check them out. They are still on the car, so I would have to cut them out.
rustyragtop Jun 16th, 04, 08:41 AM unfortunately they are not the same as a coupe. A convertible has beefier rockers for extra support. They need to be cut of a convertible. Thanks for your help...Mike
rustyragtop Jun 16th, 04, 09:20 AM Hello Again,
Classic Performance tells me they can get me full repro convertible rockers....can this be? I thought they dont exist. anyone ever purchase these or seen them? Mike
RickD Jun 16th, 04, 10:19 AM That's news to me. I had the repro inners installed - nice and beefy with some trimming/fitment required. While the rockers were opened up, one side needed some internal repair which wasn't too hard ( for my body guy ).
69-Z11Pacer Jun 16th, 04, 05:28 PM Hi Guys,
I own Classic Performance. Not trying to advertise, just posting a pic for the curious. They are FULL CONVERTIBLE ROCKERS..exactly like factory.

Please see the Classifieds for info.
HwyStarJoe...feel free to delete if you feel this is advertising....
RickD Jun 17th, 04, 02:22 AM Very exciting to see more vert stuff. Do you have a cross sectional view? Those items are quite a piece of manufacturing!
HwyStarJoe Jun 17th, 04, 03:27 AM Bill, it's not a biggy. I'm glad someone has this part available, and that you're a TC member.
If someone didn't ask and you didn't advertise in the CLASSIFIED section, vert owners would be still hunting.
69-Z11Pacer Jun 17th, 04, 04:01 AM Rick,
I don't have a cross section photo... but they do have the two ribs in the center and are constructed like original.
rustyragtop Jun 17th, 04, 06:54 AM Hello Again,
I just saw these listed on Paddock website as full 69 convertible rocker panel. I guess they are finally avail. I wonder who makes them. Also, they are listed as 69, would they fit my 68 ? You pros would know if there are differences between 68 and 69. You would think they would list them as such.

They fit all three years ( 7,8 & 9) I checked with my vendor today.
They are an awesome piece.
shoddy_F-body Jun 18th, 04, 06:59 PM That looks like the inner structure.Looks like you would still need the outer skin with those?
69-Z11Pacer Jun 18th, 04, 08:29 PM It's the whole assembly. Outer included. Bad angle on the picture.

Full floor + full rocker = :D
MrAbody Jun 23rd, 04, 05:31 AM Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pinch me I must be dreaming!
Are these things really available, or are they like the complete 'body shell' that was being sold that actually wasn't?
