Re: stepside fender patch panels

Never have seen the patch panels. Only the complete fenders by CounterParts and the actual step panels themselves. Several different companies make the replacement bed sides (with or without stake pockets).

Re: stepside fender patch panels

if youre any good at fab work you should be able to do it just fine with some sheet metal

Re: stepside fender patch panels

No one makes them as far as I know. I just use sheetmetal if its not bad and if it is a large hole just cut one off a scrap fender. They don't go for much money usually unless really nice condition. The Counterpart fenders are ok but need alot of body work to make them look good. They flare up too much at the point where they attach to the bedside.

Re: stepside fender patch panels

I repaired both of my fenders with a set of shears, sheet metal, and a welder.
Just make your own patch panel.
