69 F100 Passenger side. Does anyone make a patch panel for this rusted area and what is it called?

Thanks,

Jason

From your close up picture is looks like the rust has gotten part of the front of your rocker panel which you can get from LMC but as for the rest of front pillar post assembly, I would find a donor cab with the passenger pillar post assembly and rocker panel in that area that is in good condition. I just had to replace half of the same pillar assembly including half of the kick panel on my 68. I have sheet metal fab knowledge and was able to fab what I needed. But really a donor cab is your best bet.

GOOD JOB! Once it's all painted no one will ever know.

Does any know if you can use replacement sheet metal form Dent side trucks. I have the same problems and was wondering if the door are the same as Bumps

Mine looked just like yours so I tried the dent side repair panels, they are not even close. Jeff

Hey jfun72 and mudbone2005. You two are referring to "Dent side trucks" and doors being the same as "Bumps" and using replacement sheet to make repairs? Dent side trucks and doors being the same as "bumps" is creek to me. I understand the sheet metal repair part. but not the other. Please explain what parts or locations you are talking about. I'm a member of a 57 to 59 F100 club and these guys don't have any idea what in world you two are talking about. So please explain yourselves.

Dent side and bump sides is a reference to body style.Bump sides being from 1967-1972,and dent sides from 1973-1979.Jeff

Hey jfun72. You must think I'm dumb. I just wasn't thinking and neither was my friends. My mind was still in Florida and full of saltwater and sand. And as far as the others, I don't have the foggiest idea where their minds were. Now that my mind is clear, I read it again and said to self, self you dummy. You know that Dent side is 73 - 79 and Bump side is 67 - 72. The truck I'm working on now is a Bump Side 68 and the club I belong to is really for 57 - 60 Ford trucks but as long as it's a Ford from 57 - 72 you can be a member and the 57 - 60 models are called Box Style. So thanks for knocking the saltwater and sand out of my head.
