John, my '66 has the same holes and I think the rockers are original. The holes I think are from the die stamping. They are there for the die to grab onto to move it to the next stamping station. These parts are not made in one stamp of the die but a series of hits. The rocker molding clips have small holes drilled to screw the clip to. New rockers don't have these holes. You have to drill them. Or you can weld up the oval holes and have no rockers.

Subject: [Chevelle-List] 66 rocker panel molding

I need help, the rocker panel on my 66 have four pieces of metal that have a lip that look like they attached to the car then the rocker panels slip on top of them, the rocker panels have holes drilled in the bottom to attach to the underside, the body shop took everything off the car and all I have left is 6 large oval holes on each side, is there a insert that goes in the holes to screw the pieces of metal? The catalogs just list clips......doesn't look like clips will work...any comments and help would be appreciated.
