1948-50 rear cab corner patch question
My LR corner just arrived from Dennis Carpenter. I was hoping it would have the bottom 'lip', but it does not.
I do believe 'Reamer's' patch panels have the lip (trying to contact him).
Is there another source for a patch with the lip? or do they all come from the same source?
Thanks

It might be a little more work, but you could always weld a lip on. My 52 had rotted out on the passenger rear where the cab indents and goes up over the frame. I had to cut out the outside piece and then only realized that the back piece was gone too, so I had to replace all the metal there, I fabricated my own metal patch panels but incorporated the lips into the pieces so that they matched back up to the original piece. May be a little more work but if you have a welder handy and the skills available, it could be done.
Then again, if your like me, why do more work to the piece when you've already payed out the wazoo for it to be there in the first place lol. Best of luck.
