    yeah, you dont want to get those headers, you want long tubes, get the OBX headers, they are stainless steel.

    i dont see how you would "bolt" the rocker panel tho, seems pretty dumb lol

    truck is lookin good tho!! :peace:

    thanks man!

    exactly what i was thinking lol. i was told its just a sleeve you slide over the existing panel and bolt it in place.

    i thought the shortys fit better. ill look up some OBX longtubes and check the price.

    im pretty sure you will need some more adapters, like a male/male adapter. make sure you use silicone tape too.

    You can get rocker panels from LMC truck. thats where I got mine when I had my old truck. here's a link: LMC Truck Parts - Page 15
    it's not the cheap ones that just slide over the current panels. You gotta cut your rocker out and then weld the new one in. $200 + shipping for 1 panel.
