Hornet rocker panels

[Hudson13]

Could anyone give me ideas on locating replacement rocker panels for a 52 Hornet sedan. Any information is appreciated.

Rocker panels for Hudson Stepdowns are not available except as used replacements. One exception is a product that used to be available from a company that failed to put the correct arc in the panels albeit they had the proper stamping.

Unless your panels are so far gone that they can not be repaired, you should remove them and attempt to repair what you have and by all means save them for others if you find a set of used replacements. The rocker panels for your Hornet will interchange with all 52 and 53 stepdowns. Other models will fit but will not have the correct molding retainers.

Check with Bill Albright, Lance Walker, Ron Falk and others who deal in Used and New Hudson parts.

How about the ones on ebay? Will they fill the bill for you? They're item #260226531897.

Nope, these rocker panels are for Nashes and Hashes. Here is the link.
