taillight housings

hey guys. I recently got my grandfathers 1975 F-250 and am starting to get it back in shape to drive again. its been sitting for a very long time. the taillight housings and bed on the rear are mashed up pretty good. Are there patch panels available for that section or will I need to get a full side to replace it. thanks

I would try to find a bed at a JY to cut them off of. Cheaper and you're getting factory metal...not chinese junk that does not fit properly.

X2 on what he said about finding replacement bed sides, they will be $$, beer can thin and fit like dodo.

Jy and a sawzall, I have done it in the past. You will just need to get a little more meat off the bone of any 73-79 bed when looking.
