That's good to know. The main problem with these rocker panels is the measurement on the top step plate (from the lip for the wetherstrip to where it turns down for the door opening) is about 1/4" short. The only way to fix that is to cut it and weld in an extra 1/4". Also they didn't bend the bottom lip inward 1/8", so it was just a raw edge across the bottom which made the new rocker panel hang down 1/8" lower than it should and didn't line up with the cab corner. Luckily we have a full sheet metal shop at work and I just bent that 1/8" myself.
