Sheet Metal For body Work???
I am ready to start cutting out and replacing body panel sheet metal. What kind of sheet metal do I need to use for the body work please? 1964 F100 Styleside - Is the original sheet metal used still available?
Is there a good source in the Atlanta / North Atlanta Area if there are any locals looking?

You did not say what panels you need to work on or replace.
It is best to get a patch panel like for rockers, cab corners or cab mounts, etc. when you can as it will save you a lot of work trying to make the part first then needing to cut the old out and weld in the new one you made.
I don't know if they have anything for your year truck but on my 81 F100 flare side I went with https://tabcoparts.com/ and was vary happy with the fitment of the parts. I got 2 floor pans, 2 rockers, 2 cab corners, 2 rear door posts, inner & outer lower left door.
If they don't have what you need look at Truck Parts & Truck Accessories for Chevy, GMC, Ford & Dodge Trucks
Now I do not know if they have anything and if they do how well they fit but if they are the only ones you may just have to use them.
Could also try Sherman body https://www.shermanparts.com/ecat/base/index.php
or US Body has fiber glass body parts Fiberglass Reproduction Body Panels
Also try your local body supply shop where you get paint, primer & filler as they may be able to get what you need.

I have not been able to find bed panel components for a 1964 Styleside longbed. I am planning on using 18 GA. to repair the rear bed corner posts and bed sills, and 20 GA. for the body panel patches.
thanks again, this place is great!!!
