I'm having hard times looking things up on my cell phone one day here when I have some time I'm gonna have to get on my laptop and see what I can find. I'm going to need drivers side extended cab corner, both side wheel wells for a short bed, and the passenger side front lower panel for short bed. If I could find the whole outer bedside panel for cheap id like to go that route and save some time on the body work. I'm new to body work I've never done any before so this going to be an experience for me. When I'm finished with it all I want to black rhino line from my body line down on my whole truck then eventually paint the upper and rest of my truck black to match.

I had my wheel wells done last yr. If I was to do all over, I'd get the entire bed side. Way less work, and if you equate your time with money, I think you come out ahead, than just doing the wheel wells. Remember, rust happens from the inside out....think of an iceberg, where you only see the tip!
I have had parts from lmc and Browns of two rivers. Browns had a better fit, less prep. I need to do my rocker panels and cab corners and will probably order from Browns. For me, the shipping is reasonable and they are a Wisconsin company.
The Ford dealer may be the best, but you 'll pay. Try Tousley ( or whatever they are called now), they have pretty good prices, but I think shipping will be what kills you (wherever you order from).

I don't know about any places like that probably just a junk yard bed. I found a sit called raybuck.com and I can get the wheel arch panels for 49.25 a piece, cab corner is 52.25 and the lower front panel is the killer at 67.00. From what I've witnessed from friends doing this job before with the correct tools can be pretty easy of a task.
Place your pannel where it goes and mark the edges then cut them out of the bed. On the cut edges you use this air tool its like a little crimper. You run it on the edges and it recesses the edge so the new panel sets flush. Then weld it in place and goto town with body work?
