Best wishes in finding a NOS rocker molding. Another option in the mean time is to order a "New Original Stuff" NOS (as I like to call it) from GM under part number #3933847. Although I'm in the NorthEast, I had found it at Flow Chevrolet in N.C. The rocker fit is perfect and had all the correct dimensions. It arrived in GM packaging and label. In comparing to my original only the ends were ever so slightly different where the aluminun metal stress at the bend occurs. Although the originals are old so possibly they also exhibited the same look when new.

Believe I still have the wrappers saved and will check tonight when I get home. But if I recall correctly from memory they were made in Mexico. It looked like it was made from the original tooling as every curve and bend matched perfectly. The aluminum surface even had the same super fine manufacturing lines (like on the top of a finger nail) and matched the originals taken off.

Checked the packaging and only had GM Detroit MI written. It was a while back but I had gone over the rockers carefully and if I had seen any "Made In Taiwan" or similar would not have used them.
