Both NPD and Mac's sell a 8' whole bedside for "rust repair". You could cut what you need out of one of those. It wouldn't be concours correct as you would not
have the correct bedside seam but then again the seam is what caused all the rust!
1969 F100 Ranger LWB Big Block, factory bucket seats and behind seat storage (arrived 3/21/12) (and it was free!)
1986 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe 247K and still going strong! (sold with 251,758 miles on it!)
1986 Comp Prep SVO Mustang (1 of 83) "the original Fox body "R" model!!"
1972 Ford F-100 LWB SOLD 5/2/6
1995 F150 XLT Supercab (wanna trade for a Bump?)
