    Anyone know a good source for replacement floor and inner rocker panels for my 67?

    Try "Justjeepsters.com" I've never bought anything from them, but have heard others recomend them. I wish they made rockerpannel guards!
    Hope this helps you,

    If you're doing a resto type job, this may not be for you, but this is what I'm doing. I'll be using the channel from industrial shelving, it comes in 3 and 4", I'll be using the 4". It comes welded together to make a box, if you cut the tack welds you end up with two pieces of channel, one is a little wider than the other. Here's a pic to try to explain.

    The two red C's are the channels, the grey is the existing body. I've already mocked it up, and without cutting the channel it fits perfectly. Here's a pic of what's left of my rockers.

    Here's a pic of the pallet rack shelving, it's the orange pieces.

    Cool! But I already have the outter rockers and since I really know nothing about Jeepster sheetmetal and most of what I need to look at is gone, I'd like to find a stamped replacement if I can. But that is a really good idea and probably a lot more durable.
    Where did you get the pieces and how much were they?

    That's funny Hawkes because I'm using the shelving from some heavy duty shelf units for the floors on the wifes Half Cab :) . That's cause I'm just a cheap SOB and it was free :rofl: .

    Nathan, keep your eyes on the site. It may be a little while, but I'm working on a rocker design for the C101's.

    I got the shelving pieces from a guy that works at Canadian Tire, (hardware, auto parts place) they built a new store and sold off the old shelving to people. I saw some for sale in a local classifieds section too, 5 dollars a piece.


    Exactly!

    I shot an email to Mark Vilbert over at JustJeepsters.com and although he doesn't show them on his site, he does indeed make them for $95 a set + shipping.
    I'm actually picking up another 67 that has a lot of bodywork done so I'l hold off on the rockers unless this one needs them. Then I'll order his.
