Me too. Took mine apart two years ago. I'm sure what I took out is somewhere in my garage...

The rocker panels on my '80 were installed by the PO with pop rivets. The ones on my '73 are installed with pan head Phillips with a washer built into the head, but no idea if they are factory. They appear to be #8.
