Tabco, definitely. Original gauge metal, really good prices and nice fit and finish.

The Ford Motor Company!

A word about repro exterior panels... even from NPD. I've used a couple of patch panels and the contours are not stamped as crisp as OEM metal. For my purpose, they're just fine.

For fenders, doors, and hoods I would definitely go to the JY. Complete bedsides? Hmm... that is a good question. But for rear wheel arch patches, OEM is better but then again- ya can't see both sides at the same time.

Your call.

FYI a bed side patch panel can be acquired from a spare/JY front fender....same fender edge angle.
