I'm in the process of a complete floor replacement on a '68 vert. The outer rockers had already been repaired. Now I find the inner rockers need to be replaced. I have only been able to find inner rockers for coupes or complete rockers (full inner, outer & brace assemblies) for the vert. The listings for the coupe rockers note that they fit verts with minor modifications. Anyone know of a source for correct inner rockers for a vert or what the difference is between a coupe inner rocker and a vert inner rocker ? Thanks for your help!
I'm in the same situation as you. I'm replacing the floor pan and portions of the inner rockers. The COUPE rockers are diiferent than VERT rockers. For starters, the vert panels are galvenized and much stronger. The inner rocker that you can get do not match 100%. The steel is good and thick but it does not have the recesses necessary to allow you to attach set braces to it. You would have to do some work arounds there. I'm going to use the panel to patch my original. My rust issues was caused by a rodent infestation. Panels were plugged with seat packing material. So it's basically rust holes to patch and the pinch welds require replacement. I opened up the rocker's inner walls and found more rodent nests.
If your inner and outer are rusted thru I would get new complete VERT rockers.
I have replacement inner & outer COUPE rockers and the inner rocker for VERT. There is no way that a coupe rocker will match up to a vert. I post a link to some shots of my car. Do you have some pics?

Hello, Frustrating - I spoke with Goodmark who directed me to Dynacorn who basically said, they don't see enough demand for vert inners to offer them. They didn't have much to say in response to my question - well, you are making the vert inners anyway to fabricate into the complete inner/outer/brace assembly, why not offer them seperately as well - crickets. I can't believe Dyncorn is the only game in town for correct inners and only by buying the complete assembly(my outers have already been replaced). Anything from Canada or internationally?
