Inner and outer rockers

[zraffz]

I am looking for rocker panels for my 2002 Tahoe. I keep seeing references to purchasing crew cab truck outer rockers, trimming them and welding on a Tahoe specific exterior dog legs.

What about the inner rockers? I see they are sectional (2 parts per side). Are these the same as the crew cab inner rockers?!

I guess nobody has done rockers on these trucks?

Anyway, I placed a bunch of phone calls. The difference in the rockers is due to the shape of the rear doors meeting the wheel wells rather than a cab corner.

The outer rocker panels are in fact 99-07 crew cab Silverado rockers that need to be cut down and paired with a special 00-06 Tahoe portion of rear outer rockers.

The inner rocker panels are the 99-07 crew cab Silverado front panels that are paired with 00-06 rear inner panels.


I'm ordering the driver's side panels now. Once I install and verify fitment, I will order the passenger side.

Good info thanks for doing the legwork if it does come up

I’m looking into doing this soon too. Mine are just starting to show rust. I’m assuming the inners should be ok since it’s somewhat early.
