Looking for REAR cab corner patches of a '48.
The ones from DC are not even shaped close to original.
Northern Classic does not list Rear Cornes.
Any other options for new rear cab corners?

You might try Bitchin Products or Direct Sheetmetal. Seems like one or both make some items for Ford trucks but not sure if they have the cab corners.

The ones from EMS look like the ones from Dennis Carpenter, Not bent to match the inner lip, and don't have the curl around the frame.

I too found the dc to be carp, and had to be reworked a lot. The rear panels came from the FTE sponsor Blue Oval and I found them to be real near perfect. They were coated in black epoxy. I think I will post a pic of the left rear ( gallery,Body Work) to show. I used NO filler the panel came out so close. There are 3 heavy primer/sealer coats.

El Cabron,
What year is your truck? Just went to blue oval, The '48 cab corners they advertise don't look correct either.

What year is your truck? The LMC rear corners for a 48 are the same "way off" corners D-C has.

Reamer, mine is a 56, I just thought ,perhaps the quality might be the same for different years from the same supplier. I have done rears on the 48-52 in the past but I am not really certain who the mfr was as I bought from a local supplier if vintage Ford parts. The corners I used at the time were of high quality and fit perfect. Direct sheet metal rings a bell though. Good luck in your search .

My truck is a 55. I haven't looked at the corners that LMC sells though for the earlier trucks though.

Had a nice conversation with EMS sheetmetal. They had no photo, but described the '48 cab corner very well and I have ordered one to verify. Sounds quite accurate. Thanks to Chuck at Chuck's Trucks (203 288 2769) for the lead
