Back half quarterpanel - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

florida4x4 · 10-18-2006, 12:28 PM

I need to replace the back half of the rear quarterpanel on my junk. I've attached a pic... it's hard to see but the fenderwell is rotted and the lower part behind the wheel has pinholes all throught it. Also notice my first attempt at bondo at the top rear above the side marker light. It sucks and I want it gone

I've searched a bit with no luck. Does anyone make this part for the k5/jimmy or do I need to piece a few patch panels together?

You just missed a set in the classified, went pretty cheap,IIRC

florida4x4 · 10-18-2006, 12:54 PM

well that's good

**jaros44sr** · 10-18-2006, 02:14 PM

Are you going to install the patch panel yourself? Goodmark has nice stuff, but I hope you have a mig and a body hammer

**uncle** · 10-18-2006, 02:59 PM

Pretty much the same as a short bed truck , other than a few holes on top.

florida4x4 · 10-18-2006, 03:29 PM

I'm putting it in myself.. no worries. So the short bed will work, eh? Thanks!!

**uncle** · 10-18-2006, 03:36 PM

If you use the whole side you will have to cut it at the front. That's where the length difference is.

If you can find one, you'll be farther ahead using an original blazer bed side.

Keep an eye open for guys in the south west parting out a blazer, it happens with pretty decent regularity.

dang vt the skills you pics represent always impress me.
you need a buggy or something cool like that to work your skills on

mbgmike · 10-18-2006, 04:10 PM

These guys say they have one for $150.00 Its kind of far but may still be worth it

Interesting timing onetonk5.

I'm about to start up a body shop dedicated to our old trucks, along with 4x4 fab work capacities.

The rear quarter panel patch is much worse thatn what you already have. The arear for the taillights is not formed or cut, it is over an inch to tall, there is no detail around the wheel well, and it is very thin. You would be better off repairing that one or buying another quarter off a truck (easier to find and doesnt matter if you are going to cut anyway).

Thanks mbgmike. I sent em an email.

florida4x4 · 10-18-2006, 05:11 PM

Good points blazerboy72. If I dont find an original quarter I could get away with the wheel well opening and lower back.
