There used to be places that sold the patch panels for those areas but they stopped making them years ago unless someone has started making them again you'll have to make them yourself of find someone who can make them for you.
Hey John,
There is a member on here called Reamer who makes patch panels for
our '48-'52 trucks. He's a fireman up in Connecticut if I remember & does this on the side. He made patch panels for us - excellent work. Not sure exactly what you are looking for but Reamer might be able to help you out.
I made my own just using some 16ga sheet and various things to bend it over to shape (mostly my thigh). Other than the compound curves in the corners of the fenders, most are fairly straightforward.
