Does anyone make patch panels for the back of the cab. My 68 has a little mud over some rust about 6" down from the window, and about 12" from the gas cap. Do i need to look for a cab to cut the piece from, or is there a vendor out there? just below the bed line in the pic. sorry I don't have a better pic on this computer.

there are guys on the parts board cutting up cabs for patches all the time look there(post a wtb), if you can't find one locally.I don't believe I've seen a patch for that area,if you were local I'd give you one.

u can always make the patch yourself out of sheet metal.. theres no major lines u got to worry about.. u can cut it out and then use the bad part as a template or something i dont think it could be too hard to make

I figured i would probably have to make it. I was hoping someone sold that piece. Thanks any way
