Tire blow out and body damage to Bed, Replacement Panels ?? 6 foot bed

Guy's had a blow out over the weekend and it did this to the bed side, does anyone know if there a replacement panel for this area ?? Ford discontinued the bed side and the only aftermarket bed side i found was for a 8 foot bed and not the 6 foot bed ??

My 2nd question is,.. is the 8 foot bed and 6 foot bed the same size from the wheel well back ??

I believe the bed difference between the 6ft and the 8ft come from the front of the wheel well to the back of the cab on the bed. So you should be good. LMC Truck offers replacement panels.

I would repair that before I would put a piece of junk after market part on it ...

Leave the factory welds alone if you want it to hold up .. Its an easy repair ...

X2... Thats not bad enough (unless the rest of the bed has issues) to even think about replacing it. A good body guy could make it look better than new.

It looks like it got your exhaust pretty good, too.
