I had a catalog but cant find it and forget who it was who makes the bed patch panels....I need the corrugated front bed floor section and the lower outer rear panel to the right of the tailgate....this is for my 63 F250 4x4 styleside 8' bed pickup....project is back up and running after a few year stall due to marriage, baby, building a house, etc
thanks in advance!

I am not sure anyone really make good patch panels for the ribbed sections. My experience is that if the floor is rusted up by the cab, you have to replace both the floor and replace/repair the support underneath as well. I cut parts off of a damaged bed to make my repairs.

Here is a link that may be of some help on the bed panel question if you are talking about the old wrong long styleside bed.

Yes, same mismatched bed as the 57-60's used, cant believe that they actually put that bed with the redesigned 61 cab, nothing lines up...Thanks for the link, that is the right way to do it, but alot of time involved....someone did offer that piece and a 20" section of corrugated front floor section to make it easier....may have to cut up the floor of the other bed I have....any more info on the facebook guy making/selling those tail light section patches?
