97 K1500 extended cab sportside

Hi all. Figured I'd skip the new member section and head on over here so I can be amongst my people. Haha
1997 K1500 Silverado extended cab stepside pushing 191000 on the 5.
7 Vortec. Runs great but needs rockers and ext cab corners adressed due to rust. Seems to be the norm on these old trucks. Hi from Indiana...

Trying to find stainless rocker panel covers

Having hard time finding stainless rocker panel and stainless extended cab corners for this truck. I've looked everywhere from ebay to the LMC catalog. 97 K1500 extended cab sportside

Did you check with Carid.com? They have quite a few body parts for your truck. Hopefully you can find what you need. Another place you can try is realtrucks.com They have stainless steel rocker panels.

Short beds are 6.5ft. Mine is a 94 Silverado C1500 step side short bed. C 1500 are 2 wheel drive and the K1500 are 4 wheel drive if I am not mistaken. Glad you found your parts even though it will take some time.
