Smile 1973 F250 Taillight Patch Panels

Does anyone know of a company that sells patch panels for the bed corner (portion around the taillights)? I will post a reference pic i found for earlier fords and broncos but i can't seem to find one for the dentside. Or is it possible to just use those pieces on the dentside? Thanks in advance.

The early ones aren’t any more similar than ones meant for a Chevy. Don’t know of any reproductions.

I have never seen any in my searches, but man would it be nice if someone would start producing them.

Heck maybe we should start a thread on what parts we would like to have reproduced.

agreed. it looks like I might have to go with new bedsides. I already have new taillights and bezels but they don't quite fit as the borders have been mangled by previous owners.

Keep an eye out for good original metal. As much as I hate cutting up a good truck to fix a bad one, it’s so much easier than Ill fitting repair panels.

AFAIK no one repops that exact part/repair panel. Look for 73-79 trucks and 78/79 Bronco. Early Bronco panel will be to small. I do not think that bumpside panel will line up either. Just how much of that tail light edge do you need? Post a pic.

Good luck finding repop bed sides in stock or not crazy priced NOS. https://stlouis.craigslist.org/pts/d...477341725.html

I guess would be a good idea to carve the ones out of my old bedsides, save them? Pretty roached out below, down at the bumper area, but the tail light opening was intact ... last I saw them.

Wow! Was just a couple years ago I had offered my truck AND bedsides and doors and tailgate and other accumulated parts for that, and one dude said he'd give 1500 for the truck and that he didn't want the extras. Glad we parted at that point.
