JC Whitney has them for around $49 I think. Go to www.jcwhitney.com - you should be able to find them online, if not just order a free catalog.

Hope this isn't too late, but I've been pleased with the parts ordered from Raybuck Autoparts as well as Mill Supply.

FYI, I ordered a 87-96 tailgate from JC Whitney. After the 3rd attempt to ship me one without significant damage, I discovered that it was flimsey enough that my 200lbs bent it out of shape to where it's unusable

You have to be careful on where you buy aftermarket parts. Most of Inferior stampings done overseas.

Glad you found a place that has quality metal. Do you have a link for us? I'm needing some metal for my bronco, dont want to buy full qtr skinz from ford. Those are 800 a peice!

OK, so the parts from JC are not really that good. I was contemplating on buying some new metal from them for my '79 but I am starting to doubt them. I have never had to order panels and stuff like that before so I want to get it right the first time.


Does anyone else have a recommendation for buying patch panels/metal?

I bought, outer floor/inner rocker, lower rear door post, and cab corners for my 82 F100 from jeffs bronco graveyard. Even though they where made overseas,the quaility was good. I only had some minor trimming to do to get them to fit. The lower rear door post was 20 gauge and the other two where 18 gauge. Fred

I've had good lick with Certifit so far. Their parts are pretty cheap too. I don't know if the ship or not, but I believe they are a chain.
