I too grafted replacements from a donor  car.  In my case, had to separate t=
he outer rocker from the inner by drilling out the spot welds.=20

At one point, I owned two NOS outer rockers. I sold them a while back. They f=
it from behind the front fender to behind the rear quarter panel.  There are=
 a few buttresses, especially around the jack hole. You have to remove the f=
ront fenders, rear quarter (at least the lower dog log in front of ten rear w=
heel well. Drill out the old spot welds and then weld the new rockers in...i=
f you can find some. =20

I have two replacements sections that contain the jack hole plug and the but=
tresses. They are about 10 inches long. Yours for shipping.


Thanks,

Joe

    The outer skin is spot welded around its perimeter to the inner sill
    vertical panel.<br>
    The outer skin has a compound curve in it from front to rear.<br>
    The jack plug can be retained but in all practicality, it is just a
    decoration.<br>
    I have retained mine but they are non-functioning since basically I
    hate the very idea of using them to jack up the car!<br>
