Patch panels
Just wondering if anybody makes a lower C pillar patch panel yet? Or maybe a cab corner for a superduty can be cut down to work? I haven’t started any body work yet but just starting to get a plan together.

I think the SD part is too different. I looked hard at it for mine and just wouldn't work. The SD part is a harder corner than the EX. Rear doors are different too.

Best bet is to find one from a junk yard but its getting real hard to find a good one now days. I have used super cab lower rear "C" door pillars in the past a few times when I was unable to find a junk yard one. It still requires a fair amount of fabrication since it's NOT a direct fit but will work. If the rust is into the lower fender on the rear quarter between the wheel and C pillar, a for lower front bed section of a super duty bed will fit with minimal fab work since it follows the body line and wheel well on a Excursion almost perfectly.
