Im getting parts together to actually start working on my 64 thats been sitting in my garage since March. Ive got the majority of the sheet metal I need with the exception of the rockers for the cargo doors. Im assuming I need the inner and outer rockers, is that all or is there another piece im missing?

The cargo rocker consist of a inner rocker, outer rocker and a stiffener that is sandwiched in the middle. There is a short rocker piece from the rear cargo door to the rear wheel well. Check my build for pics. Jump in, have fun.

Welcome!

I think you need the inner rocker, the cargo rocker, B pillar, C pillar, right side floor. And most likely but not 100% sure, the front/rear outriggers and possibly the tophats. Smile

And the rear short rocker. Rust is fun! Once you start cutting it away you'll know exactly what pieces you need.
