Sadly no one makes replacement panels for our Econo truck endgates. They are worth their weight in gold even damaged. A person has to restore them or pay someone to fix them. You can get corner panel for the back of the box and the side panels. I wish they would make endgates and front rockers, front floor pans and the front and rear roll pans. These are all bad areas for rusting.

Does the OP have an Econoline, or did he post this thread in the wrong forum?

In post #1, the OP says "my '66 Styleside." I've never heard of an Econoline pickup refered to as a Styleside.

The OP's profile About Me feature says 1966 F100.
