Tailgate patch panel
Recently sold my 69 3/4 ton for a much more solid 70 1/2 ton. Unfortunately, somewhere along the way, someone mounted reflectors to the bottom of the tailgate, leaving 2 reflector sized rust holes. I have (2) 6" sections to repair. The repair goes just a little above the bend I am trying to find a patch panel for the lower section of the tailgate. It seems like this is a common place for rust but I keep coming up empty on a pre bent repair panel. Anyone know where I can get one?
Thanks

Does anyone know if the profile of the early Broncos tailgate is the same as our trucks?
There are a couple different folks offering a piece almost exactly like what I need, but for classic Broncos. Like this one:

...they sold several panels , rocker , floor etc.......... , check out rocker arm or floor pan post...........I may look for u later if needed..........
The early bronco tailgate is the same profile (at least at the bottom) as our bump side tailgates. Obviously the patch panels aren't long enough to replace the whole bottom section of a full-size tailgate, but if you have a couple holes, like I do, these bronco panels are great. Jeff's Bronco Graveyard seems to have the best price.
