Looking for a right rear quarter panel skin for a 72 suburban 3/4 ton.

Welcome to the board! As far as the 1/4 skin goes, you and everyone else is too! They don't make a full skin for the burb/panel. They do offer the lower rear portion and a taillight section and the 3rd door outer rocker panel was just released but that is it for burb specific sheetmetal besides the door shells.

If you are just trying to fix some lower rust, then I would suggest the lower rear burb patches to fix the area behind the wheel and the front lower sections for the blazers to do the area in front of the wheel arch. The wheel arch itself is repop'd but I'm not happy with the quality of the stamping personally. The arch has a defined bead in it as the front fenders do and the replacement arches available look like the bead was flattened. They are actually pretty close to being correct for a LWB bedside patch but for a SWB/Blazer/Burb or Panel, they fall far from the mark.

My suggestion to you if you are in need of the entire arch and lower front section, then look for a decent SWB bedside to cut up for a patchpanel. While not the cheapest option, it will give you the correct wheel arch. Also, the lower front of the LWB arch has a more rounded corner than the others...

Hope this helps...

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately rust is not the problem, accident damage is. The rear quarter took a hard hit behind the wheel arch and kinked enough body lines that a full skin is my best option.
