Where did you buy your patch panels from?

I'm looking to order a bunch of patches for my '84 and was wondering where you got yours and how they fit. I'd like to use classic parts because there website is the easiest to navigate. I order one from them awhile back and i didn't think it fit very good but it was also my first one and i hear they all fit kind of crappy

Re: Where did you buy your patch panels from?

There are a bunch of vendors on this board that carries repair panels. I have used parts from Classic Parts and like most reproduced parts had to be massaged a little.

I am sure others will post some of the vendors that have used for these years of parts.

I have used Brother's, Classic Parts, Classic Industries and LMC for parts when we built 67-72 trucks. I got a real good fitting inner fender for my '67 from "PartsGeek.com", the price was real good.

Re: Where did you buy your patch panels from?

Got a Keystone in the phone book?
They were supplying the local auto parts stores with cab corner, rockers. Went to them direct and got most of my stuff. Parts were aftermarket, but because they were local, no shipping. Hey I needed inner fenders and doors (in addition to every typical squarebody patch) , shipping on them can be killer.

I ordered my cab corners from summit, cheapest I found for em. They seemed to fit pretty well and weren't thin metal so overall I was plenty happy with em.

Looks good. Reminds me of when we replaced the cab corners on my '67.

Just about everybody has weld in cab corners, small and large, depending on how high you have to go. Inner cab corners are also available, depending how deep the rot goes.

On my old plow truck, the rot was pretty deep and extensive.
