Does anybody know where i can find panels that i can weld in to replace ruseted out places. Specifically the fender cornerts behind the front wheels, and the back bed corners. They are rusted through and i wanted to see if the were premade patch panels i could buy, or ic i have to fabricate my own.

 

LMC Truck should have them. It would be easier to just replace the front fenders instead of welding them.

 

JC Whitney carries many patch panels for the older Ford PU's, but they don't have the one for the lower-rear part of the front fender and I've been unable to find them elsewhere on the web. Probably because complete fenders can be had for about $100. Also, there's a company that sells on eBay that has complete painted front fenders for about $200 each (Pershing Auto, I think). Not bad considering the cost of refinishing nowadays.

 

Thanks, I was thinking about just getting new fenders for the front, But an entire replacement for the rust on the bed is kinda pricey. I looked at JC Whitney, and the had wheel arch replacements for 50 bucks, but i haven't found a corner for the back of the bed. They aren't too big of spots, I'll probably just make some my self because it's not any extreme contours or anything. It's so hard to find panels in yards without rust on them up here, so I guess buying new front fenders is my option then.

 

LMC has the lower rear corner listed in their catalogue anyways
