Bedside repair (year compatibility/difference)
So I'm looking in the lmc truck book for the bedside repair panels.
What is the difference in the 80-86 vs 87-96. I can't picture the difference because I thought they were the same.
The 80-86 patches are $25 where as the 87-96 are $40
Where else do people recommend getting panels. Is there any place that sells a better quality thicker material patch panel.

Yup. I see.
Well that sucks. $15 more each side.
Oh well.
Just gotta suck it up and do it now. I'd tackle it in a second if it weren't my truck. But bring that it was my grandfathers it makes it a little trickier.

Very true brad.
If I knew that they were better quality then it would ease my mind about the cost.
I put a set of patch panels in a guys truck that didn't have a nice pronounced bend for the body line, it was more like a big radius. I'm sure the body guy made it work, and look good, but I want a matching crisp body line like factory. If I could see/hold the patch panel before buying, I'd pay the 40$ easily. But so many company's sell the same junk for different prices and it gets frustrating.
