please help. 1961 unibody

Trying to repair the passenger side panels on the bed, but can only find rear panels for the stepside. Any suggestions on what options would be greatly appreciated.




This is the damage. I believe I can bend out the panel, but not that section with the brake light

Appears to be a short (6 1/2') bed, look on the Warranty Plate for the wheelbase, will be 114" for the short bed, 122" for the long bed (8' bed).

As I said, there are TWO different end caps (quarter panel extensions), one for the short bed, the other for the long bed.

Just gotta say thanks one more time. Contacted them, they do have that part(just 1) so I'll be putting in an order tomorrow. After so much searching, I felt like I'd be rocking the rear damage for a few years until I could find someone parting one out.
