Patch panels

[timmins57]

I just bought a 1970 Chev suburban and am still a rookie on this years specs!
I need patch panels for the lower fenders front and back of rear wheel wells.
Will long box fleetside panels fit this application? Also, the floor is wood in my suburban. Will a long box wood bed kit fit?
Thats all for now!!! All my experience is in the 50's era trucks!!

First off, welcome to the club! I’ve used gmc Paul’s for parts and have been happy with their service. They are a member here as well. I’m not sure about the wood bed kit or fleet side parts working but I’m sure someone with experience will chime in.

Welcome aboard! The pick-up bed sides have differently shaped wheel openings compared to a Burban and the body line along the bottom of the big side window is quite different than a pick-up. Here is a thread on the differences.

The pick-up bed wood is not correct for your Burban. The 67-72's used an odd sized plywood sheet for the floor. If you were a skilled carpenter you could replace the plywood with a different style of wood.

Here is a link to how I replaced the plywood in my Burban. The process starts at post 480 and goes on for pages as I did some other repairs and modifications along with the floor replacement.
