52 Door patch panels
Hey all, got a question for ya. I just brought homw my next project vehical in the form of a 1952 F-3. the cab has some pretty bad body cancer, but is fixable. My question is, does anyone know where you can buy patch panels for the lower doors on one of these trucks? I have found patches for the rocker panels and the cab corners, just nothign for the lower doors.. any help would be greatly appreciated Thanx in advance

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 16-Feb-02 AT 10:12 PM (EST)]Welcome to the site.
We have a '41 and I couldn't find anything for the doors so Steve cut the lower outer skin of one of our doors out and took it to a local metal shop and had plates made for both doors. They work real good and only cost us $25. for both.

Ok, I kinda figured that I might be on my own to either have them made, or make them myself. Shouldn't be too hard since I do have some sheetmetal experience and also that I'm not going for a 100% original resto, so they don't have to look stock, as long as they look good. Thanx again
