I'm not a great fan of these folks but,,,, Your will require a fair amount of sheetmetal work in order to fix it anyway so take a look at this: LMC Truck Parts - Page 19

I looked thru LMC and the part I need is not part of the side panel or the end panel. I'v looked thru LMC, Dennis Capenter, & Tabco, and still can't seam to find it.

Yea that's what I'm thinking too. At least the only real bent area is still in desent shape. So I should be able to reuse some of it. If I can find a patch panel it would be great I have enough other stuff to work on! Just look at my build thread! lol!

The entire bedside from LMC does include that part of the sheetmetal.

You just have to purchase the entire bedside is the bummer.

Project I would say what ever is the easiest for you. I can't tell if the bed side and the surrounding metal is any good. If the surrounding metal is not good I would say just cut the metal around the piece and I'll separate the panels when I get it, to save you the work. But I would like the whole panel.


Bullitt390 Thanks for the info. I figured someone had to make that part. LMC and others make just about every other part of that bed. It's just hard to tell from the pictures in the catalog if that end was on the side panel. Does LMC add that piece to the side panel the way Ford did or did they make it all one piece?

It's just like the factory, includes the tail light surround too, so swapping sides makes it incredibly easy actually.

Project I just need the front panel, let me know. I don't want to see you mess up a good side panel.
