Question Shortbed Quarter Panel

I recently had a blowout on passenger rear tire. The tread came off the tire and shredded my quarter panel/bedside. I was wondering if anybody knows where to find quarter panels for shortbeds. I have done numerous searches and can only find them for longbeds. I found fiberglass replacements but I want to stick with sheetmetal.

Thanks.

So are you saying that I should buy a longbed quarter panel and cut it down?

Check out these threads, this one talks about replacing bed "panels" and available parts: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/s....php?t=421489, this one talks about replacing bed "sides" and available parts: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/s....php?t=368278. I also have a friend that has bought long bed sides and cut them down to fit his short bed. He's finished now and I will try to get some completed pics up soon. This thread talks about that: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/s...d.php?t=367104 -Ed
