Looking for bed patch panel
I have a couple other things I will be purchasing off Denis carpenter and thought id throw it onto that order
Maybe im missing something, can someone point me in the right direction? thanks!
While im at it. Im also looking for the rods inside doors for the door locks. The one that goes up to the **** is shot and I cant seem the find those either. This one is much less urgent

I would use AMD before anyone else, IMO.....useually cheap/cheapest is not good and good is not cheap. The repop metal gauge or thickness matters, not that fact one is the cheapest. A simple phone and a question can answer "what gauge metal is your repop part"?
Door rod about any of the normal vendors. Here are a couple of diagrams to help you out.

bought one rocker patch from LMC and don’t care to buy any patches from them after that experience
