Inner fender patch panel - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I was just thinking that it would be nice to have a patch panel for the front of the right side inner fender. Where they always rust. With the questionable fit on some of the aftermarket stuff it would be nice if you could cut it off across and replace the whole front lip with three new mounting points, We have patch panels for everything else why not these.Just a thought for any vendors out there.

At 80.00 each for good quality inner fenders why go to the trouble of cutting and welding in patch panels.

How much is shipping on those. All I seem to hear though is how bad the fit is on all the aftermarket stuff. At least Im guaranteed that my original will fit like it is supposed to. Not nocking anybodys parts. Parts are like tools. If your in the middle of a job and it breaks or doesnt fit correctly, At that point a guaranteed fit or lifetime guarantee doesnt mean anything. Well I better get off my soapbox now.

We haven't experienced any fitment issues on our inner fenders. I have used several on my own trucks with great success. WES www.Classicheartbeat.com
