Homer52, if you could, please submit pics and lessons learned from your experience with patch panel replacement. I have a '41 3/4 ton that needs the same work done. So, I am very interested in how it works out for you. I won't be working on the body until this coming spring. BTW, do you have your panels yet? If so, where did you get them? I need both lower cowls, a driver side lower door skin, and passenger side cab corner. Hopefully that is all I will need. I won't know until I have it blasted. So, again, please keep us posted on your progress. Thanks!
Dan
