Tailgate patch panel

[BrianG]

I have a fairly decent tailgate which I will end up having to use on my build if I am not able to find a better one locally. The bottom inside of the gate is rotted on the side that faces the inside of the box in a couple of places. I have looked but have not been able to find a patch panel for the tailgate. Does anyone know if one is made for our trucks. Seems like a it would be a very popular part and extremely easy to produce. I'd try to make one myself however the bend that is in there has a slight radius and I don't really know how well I'd be able to reproduce this on a brake.

If anyone knows if a patch panel for the inside bottom of our gates is available, please pass on the source.
