There's lots of great reproduction metal available out there, but no rocker panels (as of yet). Since the front frame rails, inner fenders, floor pan and radiator support are the same as an E body of that year, I'm wondering how close an E body part would be as a rocker panel replacement? Has anybody an answer? Thanks!

I have one B rocker pulled now. Have more to pull. 72 Satellite Sebring Plus 440, 72 Dart 5.9 4-spd, 68 Valiant, 73 W200, 78 D100 sb, 78 D200, 98 DAKOTA, .
