Rocker panel differences

50C8DAN

Anyone know if there is a difference in the '50 sedan rockers and the '51/'52's? I know the clips are spot welded on the '51/'52 but will they fit and will the trim strips for the '50 work on the '51/'52?



Thanks

Dan, As you have already pointed out those are the only differences between the years. It basicly goes like this: First generation 48-50. Second generation 51-53 Third generation 54. Trim strips for the narrow trim on the bottom are identical. Clips for the wide trim are different. Holes in the 48-50 need to be filled in or welded over with the 51-53 clips.You might possibly be able to get away with using 48-50 wide trim clips on a 51-53 but you can't use 51-53 clips on a 48-50. If you have a coupe and need a rocker,you can modify a 4 door sedan rocker to accomodate this. It takes some fabbing but it can be done. The rockers from Green Mountain do not have the contour that is needed nor do they have the correct width of the various character lines correct. I would salvage what I had versus buying from Green Mountain.
