rear repair panel
Has any one used a patch panel from AMD to repair eye brow on the rear bed side, they only list a pickup in the application part # 730-4067-1R

Re: rear repair panel
I used a small section of that patch panel. I only needed the lower rear quarter section but the two other patches I ordered didn't have the detail around the lip.

Re: rear repair panel
I had originally purchased the parts you mentioned, but because they are designed for a pickup they didn't fit correctly, and as you said only one side had that detail. The Blazers taper at the rear much faster than the PUs because they are shorter.
I opted to use the full arch to get that nice "thumbnail" detail and fabricated the rest. My lip wasn't rotted out, but had a couple pinholes.You can just see what I mean in the first picture where the rear of the new panel is much lower than the original quarter panel. It wasn't much more work to replace the whole thing.Worked well for me |

Re: rear repair panel
Thanks Hemi for the info. You were the first I thought of going thru your build.Are you saying you bought a whole bedside, and removed the piece you needed?

Re: rear repair panel
I think he also used the panel you listed which is the full arch he just used more of it than I did. I believe the other panels he was referring to as being truck specific were the lower rear sections that extend from the back of the wheel arch to the tail light. That's all I would have needed if they were available for the Blazer but I believe the ones available are for long bed pick-ups and aren't worth trying to make work.

I used just the arch repair panel. If I would do another Blazer, I would just use a complete new 1/4 panel. I would have gone this route when I built my truck, but they were not available back then. Last edited by hemi43; 02-08-2020 at 11:53 AM. |

Re: rear repair panel
Chevrolet Chevy GMC Truck Quarter Panel Section Set L&R 1967-1972 Schott
I copied this title off of ebay. Not sure if these are newer pieces or older ones. Schott and one other company had some panels out back in the late 80's or so when I first started looking for panels. I have a 1/4 panel that is 2 pieces a front and rear section you weld in the middle to make a complete quarter. actually looks pretty good. but there panels were for blazers only as best as I can remember |

Re: rear repair panel
Are the full repro panels any good? From my experience with patch panels they are always made of softer steel than the original sheet metal. Not sure it they use hot rolled vs cold rolled or a different composition all together but always noticably softer. I think that's why most of the repro tailgates are junk, soft steel in a high abuse area so they are easily dented and twisted. I usually try to use the least amount of a patch that I can get away with.

Put the starter bracket up for sale on the parts board, and I will buy it, for a reasonable price Thanks guys for all the input, now I have some ideas on how to aproach this problem. Pound41, I sourced Schott, and all I found was early truck parts. At this time, I'm thinking just cut the flat piece out of sheet metal, flange it and weld back in

Re: rear repair panel
I've still got the rest of the panel I didn't use. What remains is the top of the arch an inch or so above the body line. If what is left fixes your spot you can have it if you want to cover shipping.

Re: rear repair panel
![]() This is the area I need to work on, it's just the flat area, does your patch cover any of it, thanks for the offer

Re: rear repair panel
This is what I have left of the driver's side panel. If you only need a short piece you might be able to get a chunk that matches the curvature where you are working.

Re: rear repair panel
I need two pieces maybe 7 inches long so that piece may work. Can I buy it from you?

Re: rear repair panel
Hey Jim;
Replace the whole lip. I guarantee you that within 6 months it will have pin holes where you didn't repair it. Mine looked better than yours and when I cut it out you could see the rot on the backside. The picture with the holes is after I used a pick hammer on it. |

Re: rear repair panel
Jim
I got mine from GMC Pauls. $33 per side for the wheel arches or they have a fuller panel for $155. They also have lower patches for the blazer now as well https://gmcpauls.com/bed_patch_panels.htm .

Re: rear repair panel
Jim
Here are 2 shots of the panel just being held up with magnets. It seems to be a decent weight to it and it looks like it will fit decent once cut and matched. The lower front 1/4 patch is even better I think. It does have the inverted edge on the wheel opening like original .
