41 rocker panels needed

I just purchased a 41 truck which needs rocker panels. Does anyone on the forum knows where I can purchase these?

Fiberglas ones are available from the major vendors like Jim Carters and Bowtie Bits. Wheelwright Restorations can make new metal ones for you. I have some of the metal ones on my '45 and they came out terrific. Ray can make some door bottoms as well.

K-TEN thanks, I found the fiberglass panels but I was holding out for steel. I will contact them and see what they have.

It's not a "them", it's a "he". Ray Stanley is the Metalman. He had my truck and created the templates for the door bottoms and the rockers from my truck. He may have extras, or will have to create new ones.

Thanks, I will contact him and see if he has extras. The link you added I suppose is where I can contact him. This is exciting news.

Thanks K-TEN for the lead to Ray Stanley, he had a exta set of rockers which I purchased. One was the rocker he used for a patterns. He said he probably would not make any more and would let me have them. I am so lucky that I will be able to use steel rocker instead of fiberglass.
