Whatever you do don't go to Fixmyrust.com if their still in business. They sent me the wrong parts for a 92 extended cab I sent them back and never recieved a refund. Called my credit card and so far(3 months) no refund. I was told to buy the slip on ones to make up the extended cab part and I did but have not replaced them yet. Doesn't look like to much fabrication though. I am sure somebody has done this already who might have a better solution.

FWIW, I bought my rocker panels from Raybuck. I bought a slip on for the passenger side, which was not nearly as bad as the driver side. I bought an OEM style from them for the driver's side. The slip on is about 4 inches shorter than the OEM style because it does not have the molded rear part on it that rolls into the cab corner. My truck is a regular cab but I thought you might like to have the info I found out the hard way. Raybuck was good to work with though. Good luck!

What you can do is get a full rocker with the rear lower cab corner for a reg cab truck. Get 1 for each side so you will have the rear section of the cab corner for both sides. Then get 1 of the rockers that does not have the corner section and cut it in half for use to fill in the gap on both sides. Im sure that is hard to follow. I used rockers from a donor reg cab as well as the cab corners from same. That left a 18 or so inch gap from corner to rocker. I bought 1 replacement rocker and cut it in half to fill in the blank on each side. :roll:

i guess i should post a pic up of what i really need, i dont need the rear part so much as the just the rocker. its got myabe 18 inches that needs repair to one side and then maybe 8 to 10 on the other side. thanks richie i will keep that in mind though :grin:
