I have noticed that the major chevrolet/GMC truck parts distributors sell upper "eyebrow" repair patches for 55-57 chevy/GMC pickups but none for the 58-59, it seems to me that the 58-9 series are just as prone to rust there as their older counterparts, if not more. I ask because my apache is completly rusted out over the headlights and was curious as to why patch panels for it don't exist.

you'd have to ask the folks who make the investment in tooling and contracting the Chinese to stamp them out, like Dynacorn ... prolly just not enough demand, start complaining grin all anyone seems to have is the whole fender that Dynacorn produces. OTOH, BodyParts inc shows a "front of fender" patch, although no price listed, so likely N/A
