    Patch panels

    Vic, unless you are replacing an entire section the aftermarket patch panels are fairly cheap 25-50 bucks each. It would be more trouble to cut a OEM section to get a patch out of, because chances are it is deteriated as well. I have 6 patches to replace: cab-corners, front fendor bottoms, lower hinge insets, bottom doors,etc. Those are the ones I can see. :)

    Good luck to you.

    I don't know of any aftermarket pieces for panel trucks from the doors back.

    It would be easier to fabricate them than it would be to try and find replacements.
    Find a guy that knows his way around an English Wheel and throw money at him !! ;)
