1950 panel truck body parts

Is there anywhere that would have patch panels that are for the panel trucks. Like lower cab panels from the door to the rear fenders rear corner patch panels...

I found everything I needed at 'Hammer & Dolly's Rod Shop' j/k!

No pre made patch panels exist for the panel truck for anything rear of the front doors... that I've been able to find since I bought my truck in 1999. Body hammers and dollies are all you've got! (And any of the other plethora of body working tool too I guess but they are all I had!)

I would just love to be proven wrong though as I still have spot or two I'd like to do a better job on.

Re: 1950 panel truck body parts

Actually, there ARE panels available. Check over on Stovebolt.com. There is a guy in Mass or somewhere east that makes them for the door to fender and behind the fenders. Wheelright maybe? Wheelsmith? I'll look. I talked to him a year or two ago about making longer ones for my 1 ton panel and his prices were EXCELLENT.

Is there a easy way to get a hold of that guy without signing up to the forum.
