Is there a source for quarter panels for a shortbed? I found them for a longbed but not the shortbed. Can you cut a section out of the longbed quarters and weld them back together?

 

I think the more appropriate question is can "you" cut a section out of the longbed quarters and weld them back together? I know I can't. lol. Seriously, though, my favorite bodyshop certainly can, and have to quite often for these old ford shorties - long bed boxes are fairly easy to come by around here, but nice short boxes are few and far between. Luckily, mine only required very small fender lip repairs (rust).

 

crosscanadaautoparts.ca has them listed with price , just sign in a a guest and it will let you look through the inventory of parts. Can't remember if I seen them in LMC truck or not.

 

I have a complete short bed in good condition, if you can't find the panels and you are interested, pm me, located in New Jersey.
