Another Q. for the suburban/Panel Gurus!

On the suburbans and panel truck, I have to replace part or all of the rear inner wheel wells on my panel.. They both have some rust.
So, what is available? what have you used and where from.
I have just got the new rear tail light sections and am ready to weld them in ,but need to repair/replace the inner wheel well rusted spots first.
So, any suggestions other than cut out the rust and weld in little round and square patches?

Re: Another Q. for the suburban/Panel Gurus!

I think you are going to have to fix what ya got.

I personally have not seen new parts you are looking for in the catalogs.

Drop these guys a line, and see if they can find you a solid used part?

I recently met them, and they are cool people to deal with. Plus they like to scrounge parts for people!

I will check them out. I did find "fleetside/blazer wheel arch inner splash skirts on GMC PAuls which is closest to me and service has been super so far.
anybody know if these will fit a suburban/panel truck at the rear of the lower fender wheel housing?

Truck/blazer stuff is different from the Sub/panel stuff in the area you are asking about. You will need to patch yours or find good used ones. You could become a 'site supporter' and post a wanted to buy ad.

Re: Another Q. for the suburban/Panel Gurus!

Huge bummer, I just tossed out a perfectly good rear carcass of a burb that had those in very nice shape. I gave a whole bunch of stuff to a guy just to haul away for scrap.You should consider becoming a subscriber so you can post want to buy ads so this kind of stuff doesnt happen. A bunch of this burb was cut off and just given to different people here on the board.
