69 rocker molding
Im confused, I have a set of Hooker side mount sidepipes, do I still need the rocker moldings and what is the upper and lower.
I dont have them so I might have to buy but dont know what I need.

68 & 69 both used a 2 piece rocker molding. A full size fiberglass piece with a thin aluminum strip. They are a bit pricey compared to the 70 up which while not correct will fit.
I took my back tires off and slid them into place after the hookers were installed
I can get you pictures in the morning if needed.

Here you go.
This shows you how the strip is supposed to look.
You might have to trim the fiberglass some to get the Hookers to fit and I think it does look better when you do re-install the panels but some guys don't bother.

I wouldn't modify the 69 rocker mouldings in any way because they are very expensive. I would try using a cheaper set of moulding from a later year and modify them if you have to. good luck

They definitely have a more finished look with the rocker moldings in place. I have a 68 but put on a set of the 70 rocker moldings because I didn't want to cut up or modify the 68 two piece ones.
I got lucky they fit without any trimming. And as Rick said above, take off the rear tire and they'll slide into place.
