Need patch for bed...
97 F-250 HD
7.3 Turbo Diesel
The previous owner had a goose neck hitch in the bed. This left a nice 12 x 15 hole in the bed over the rear axle. Where can I get a patch panel to cover the opening and not look like an access panel when I'm done? I want to do a spray in liner and would like the bed to "look" correct.

Even JC Whitney has patch panels... well... they used to... I imagine they still do.
Sometimes you can find a junkyard bed that's really rusty on the wheel wells (bedsides) but the floor is okay, which you'd offer a small amount of money since the bedsides are very rusty. Then cut out what you need, weld it in.
It not looking like an access panel depends on your ability to weld it in, after lining up the contour of the floor pieces.
