Where to buy inner rear bed patch panel?
 

Anyone know where to purchase a short fleetside patch panel? I need the one that is for the right side, rear for a short fleetside bed? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

LMC has it listed on page 27. Good luck eh. Have a good one.

Be careful with any NEW bed floor patch panels. I've used one from LMC and the ribs are not the same size as factory. I wound up cutting each high and low and stitching the panel back together, just to replace a botched fuel filler hole the previous owner cut and welded back in place, crooked. You'll want to either replace the entire floor or find a good used original patch. Otherwise, plan on doing a LOT of work to get that patch to fit and all of the ribs to line up.

Thanks for the replies!

I seemed to left out that the patch I need is for the right bedside and not the
floor!

The patch that I need is the one on the right rear inside of the bed side.

I am having problems with a picture but will try again.

Are you looking for a panel to repair the full height of the inner bedside? If you need only the lower 6" or so plus the "L" with holes at the bottom, check out Mar-K. I bought some of theirs for my long bed and had them installed when I had the body work done. They did the trick.

Thanks for the reply and link!

I tried to order but I am stuck on the phone number sections. I posted my phone number and I got the message that the number is not in a valid order!

I tried changing the order but no luck!

I am not sure what that means so I tried contacting them using their contact as posted but no reply yet. The part that I need is setting in the cart and I have pricing information and wish to complete the transaction.

I will try calling them today.

Thanks again!

Theyre pretty easy to make, I cut some out of stock I got from scrap at my buddys body shop, shaped them on a vise, dollies, etc and formed them to fit perfectly. Cut out the old, tack in the new. It turned out nicely.

But, if you want the patch panels Mar-K is the way to go.

CC69RAT,

I am about to attempt making my own. I have made other patches but I thought the raised portion might not turn out. The patch size of the repair that I need is 12" taller then the after market panel so I would need to add to it anyway.

Thanks for the reply!
