Bed Patch Panels

[Mudbone2005]

Has anyone order and used the bed side patch panels from LMC or MAC's. I have 1972 SWB F100 and the bed needs repair and these beds or hard to find so this might be my only option.

I saw a similar conversation about this some time ago, and I seem to remember someone saying that the are issues with the bed patch panel's patterns not lining up with the stock pattern. I don't remember if id was a particular dealer though. Might try a quick search of the site.

I saw a lot of information on the bed floor but not for the sides is what I interested in getting

I have a truck bed that somebody did a replacement from the bump down on one side. They welded in the gap above the bump the whole way down and it all looks terrible and wavy. If you go this route you want to be an experienced welder. Some of the spaces don't quite line up on the seams back by the lights but if you are an experienced welder it will work I've seen people do more difficult things. I have some bed replacement panels if your in michigan...

i am the person who posted about the bed patch panels for my 67 swb. DO NOT buy them from LMC. if at all possible find a local jy and have them torch .cut or if the bed is in better shape that what you all ready have just buy the whole thing. i can not speak of the quality of D.C. NPD. as i have not used them.if LMC had made their panels here they might fit a whole lot better. some times you get what you pay for.
