bed wheel arch patch panels
1997 F250HD 8ft standard bed, the wheel archs are rusting out and finding body parts specific to 1997 250HD is very difficult, are the wheel arches of the 96 F250 the same, specifically can I use 1996 truck bed patch panels to repair my 97 F250HD without having to cut and rework the creases etc. Also where is best place to look for repair body parts for this truck.
Thanks

Most 92-96 body panels should work on a 97 250HD
Some parts will have subtle differences but overall they are the same
and like mentioned above ^^^ many parts are same going back into the late eighties and some may be as early as 1980

I've heard LMC panels are thin and poor quality. I have no experience.

97 light duty is a completely different critter, used the F150 sheetmetal.
