I may be the wrong Jim (I have been that before), but I may
be able to help.  Since I have the same problem with my 67
double cab rockers, I would appreciate knowing what you find
out.

I have three possible sources for rockers:

Das Bulli Haus
18 Ward Lane
North Franklin, CT 06254
(203) 642-7242

Bus Stop (Rocky Mtn....)
1003 Tamarac Parkway
Woodland Park, CO 80863
(800) 544-5357 (sales)

Bus Boys, Inc.
18595 East Lake Blvd.
Redding, CA 96003
(800) 792-BOYS

Note that the Bus Boys catalog is the only one which has

*ALL ITEMS ABOVE FIT BUS & PICKUPS UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED*

at the bottom of the page with body parts on it, so that
*may* be a clue.  I remember a post here that recommended
buying the *inner* rocker from one place and the *outer*
rocker from the other, so quality and fit must really vary
from one supplier to another.

Good luck with your 59!
