Where Can I find Replacement Quarter Panels

I have a 1996 Ford F250, shortbed. Like most Ford trucks from the 90's it has the classic rust over the wheelwells. I am a body tech so I can do the work, I was just wondering if you guys had any ideas on where I could get whole bedside panels for it instead of the small wheelwell patches.

Any help would be great, thanks.

Mike

I have purchased replacement panels from a seller on ebay and they worked out quite well and the price was very reasonable, with free shipping.

Ask them to send you a catalog.

Good luck!

P.S. I just got off of the telephone to get a new catalog. They used to be free but are now $4.

Looking through my 2007 Certifit they only show 8' bed replacements. We can hope that they offer the short bed now.

If you are going to replace full panels, you really need to make sure you have a spot welder, go to Harbor Freight and pick up one of their cheapies, it will make it so much easier to install panels, don't do the sheet metal screws, it won't work. I picked up one about 10 years ago and it has really made a difference in installing panels.

Your parts guys SUCKs.

Look into FEY, Key Crash, Gordon, etc. Your parts guy SHOULD have access to all these companies are a MUCH better cost than the general public
