Re: 78 K10 Build "Hank"
Where did you buy your patch panel for the rear lower bedside from it looks like yours fits. I bought mine from classic parts and it doesn't fit right inside the fender well. The lip for the wheel arch sticks out farther the original lip i have a few pictures to show what i mean.

Re: 78 K10 Build "Hank"
I got mine from my parts truck. I cut a few more inches than I needed and trimmed it to fit. You just need to trim yours around that lip.

Re: 78 K10 Build "Hank"
You can trim it. Just take measurements from the other side if you are worried. Just draw a line and cut it flush with the existing lip. Or cut the flat part short and blend the area where it starts to curve. You are cutting the old stuff out right?

Re: 78 K10 Build "Hank"
cutting the old stuff out? if you mean rust then yes the bad has already been cut out. I just don't think i could get the curve right.. I wish i could find a company that makes a better patch
