Try your local auto parts counter. This could save on shipping. Most places have access to the same selection of patch panels. Here's what Mill Supply carries, for example:

I was able to buy panels at my local Car Quest Auto Parts store. Was good quality and once I figured in shipping was pretty close to same price... Also had them the next day Vs 3 to 6 for ups. You can try Salvage yards too. There are at least 2 in my area that can get new stuff.

i just replaced mine in my 77 with some lmc pieces. i would say they were as good as any others i've used in the past.

Well, I need to put new floor pans, and real wheel patches on 79 F150. I know basically zip about welders, but want to get one. 1st to work on truck (I have a buddy who can show me the ropes), but then I have been compiling a list of what other projects I could use a welder for. Justification to the old lady, you know.

Any way, Mig, Stick, Gas.....not sure.

I saw this on craigslist, gas, but what else is required? I was reading a thread about a Hobart, but needed a gas conversion kit...Just need some advice on what I really need, and if this one would do the job, + what else I would need.

Thanks guys/gals.

Stay away from Cheap welders Harbor Freight etc. Stick with the BRAND names ie Miller or Lincoln. Try getting a MIG for your floor pans
