Sheet metal repair panels. Help preserve (what's left of) my sanity!


Recommended Posts

Help please. Does ANYONE makes patch panels, more specifically door bottoms, for these (mine's a '49 b1b) trucks? I've overworked my search engine so much it needs a rebuild and I've found exactly nothing. If nothing is available, I realize my options are rebuild mine (about 2 inches of the ENTIRE door bottom is missing on the passenger side and it's the better one. lol) or source some better, also used ones. I just need someome to definitively confirm that, yes, _____________ has them at this site or no, no one makes them and it's time to pick up the welder and cutoff wheel.

I'm certain that many of you know these things inside and out, so please put me out of my misery so I can stop wasting welding time on doing pointless searches. Thanks so much!

I made my own, but I had access to a brake.  Depending on how bad the inner skins are it may be easier to look for a replacement door from out west.

Yes i do...many of the doors will be cut up for window areas so the rest is easily shipped

Just to make sure I'm following you, do you mean you could hack off the bottom 8-10 inches or so and ship to me? If so, we might work something out. It would save me a tremendous amount of hand work.
