Styleside Bed Ends.

Being a new owner of a '60, I have many questions. But right now, a couple in particular.
The rear brakes were seized, but they did break loose. I'm figuring I'll have to replace everything. As bad as I hate to say it, Autozone has about the best prices I've come across because of shipping. I hoping (but not counting on) that the drums can be turned and not replaced. If someone has a good link to brake parts, please let me know.
Second: The front fenders need to have patch panels put on. That can be done. But what are you guys doing about the end caps on the bed where the tail lights are mounted? Mine have been filled at one point, I don't know if it can be redone. Do these things exist anywhere in the aftermarket world?
Thanks. I'll try to get pics up in a few days.

For brake parts the cheapest I found were Rock Auto for wheel cylendars; Ebay for dual master cylendar booster and soft lines; and local discount auto for hard lines. I didn't need to replace drums or shoes.

For rear end caps there is a guy that just recently started reproducing the bottom half of the rear section. He posted to the Facebook group with pictures. They looked very nice. I don't recall his name but the group owner will know who he is.

Wow! Asked and answered. We're in the process of remodeling a house right now. I hope to find some time before snow flies to tinker. But I certainly plan on some winter repairs. I'll be asking some more questions. Thank everyone much.

If you do a search in both this, and the 48-56 Forums, you will arrive at a very decidedly unflattering view of JohnsFFunhundreds.

LMC is OK for reproduction parts like ***** and door handles. I've had good luck with them on those things. I have not bought anything else from them.

I see lots of brake parts, especially slave cylinders, on E-bay.

NPD and LMC both will send you a free catalogue.

Hey msscatter, I've got the whole rear end parts kits that I won't be using since I'm going with rear discs. PM me and I'll make you a sweet deal.
