Bedside patch panel
Before I bought my truck the PO had changed the fuel tank to the rear under the bed. (I have since removed it and put it back in the cab) The PO cut two holes in the left rear bedside trying to badly install a filler door. Now I am left repairing a poorly patched, warped and messed up bedside. I saw the Bob's Chevy truck parts in Arizona stocks a patch panel for the 8 foot fleetside that would solve my problem. I know a lot of patch panels are either good or bad as far as shape and metal guage goes. I am asking if anyone on the board has any experience with this patch panel? Is it any good? Let me know before I order one. Thanks )bone(

Re: Bedside patch panel
Only experience I have with patch panels is with Top Banana, the panels I bought fit real well and their prices are less or as good as anyone.

Re: Bedside patch panel
I emailed Top Banana to see if they have, or if they can get this panel. Waiting to hear...

Re: Bedside patch panel
this panel is made in usa by schotts company in ohio.it is the same gauge as original.classic parts carries it,also surplus supply in ohio carries it.you cannot buy from schotts as they are a wholesale company who supplies dealers only.shop around as there are a few other companies that carry them also.i have personally looked at these panels at swap meets before and was very impressed at the quality of them.this is a full half section panel from the bed seam down.

Re: Bedside patch panel
I've been looking for the same section for my long bed fleetside. I'm not sure if this is for the longbed or short but it's another option from Jim Carter Truck parts. It does show being Made in USA ... !!!

Re: Bedside patch panel
There's also bowtie bits! They have everything for our trucks. Might compare
