Re: 1970 c10 can't find patch panel

That is a body panel, not a patch panel. The full body panel used in the cab construction. The only "patch panel" made for that area are the lower cab corners we are all familiar with. No one but GM has ever offered that cab back panel, unfortunately. You are best to find a junk cab and cut that out. I have done this before in the same area. You will find it very hard to knock back out on that tight roll. Replacing the back panel gets down into the back of the floor and cross brace that like to rust. Unless all that is fresh clean metal you will be digging deep into the truck or wasting a prime rare panel by cutting it short.
