Well I tried to save the lower rear panel on my 48 2 ton. It had been used as a flat deck some time in it's life and had some major dents. I fiddled around with trying to remove the worst of it and someone else had tried too. When I went to strip the back side of the cab a pink cloud of powdered bondo exploded onto the scene. It must have been almost an inch thick in places. Any how since I'm not a body man I decided it would be easier to just replace the entire panel. I installed inner and outer cowl pieces and they came out very good.

If any one has ever done this before, I'm open to suggestions on any problems that arise. I'm think I'm going to clean up the bottom of the cab first. just in case there is any damage when I try to rotate the cab. That's going to be another post.


FYI I purchased the rear patch panel from Brothers Truck Parts.
