Styleside Bed Rust Repair
I am just getting started on restoration of a 1966 F100 and a 1964 F250 (one of these may end up being a parts truck). Both trucks are mostly rust free with the exception of the bed. Both trucks have the styleside steel bed and both are rusted through where the bottom bed panel meets the front panel. In some places there is as much as 2 inches of the bottom panel rusted away. I am looking for suggestions or ideas for economic repair options or sources for steel panels designed for this type of repair. If you have completed a similar repair please share your experience.
Thank you
Dan

A good place to start looking for patch panels is the site sponsors list. There are a few other companies selling them like LMC Truck, Dennis Carpenter, and I believe Mar-K makes them too. J.C. Whitney also sells patches, but usually for dentsides. Definitely look at Blue Oval and Mac's.
