sweptline Dodge 61-71 rocker step and how its made.

 The rocker step/panel was the first part that i made for the Dodge trucks and also one of the more difficult parts. I originally had to make them in two pieces, the step area and the outer rocker. After some trial and error and eventually making a custom forming station to build these parts on i  was finally able to make them in one piece just like the factory did using the same thickness metal. Here is a series of photos showing how its done, Using a series of press and hand forming operations.
