I have a 1966 Chevy fleetside and i am missing one of the rods that attached to the fram and then attaches to the body near the back tire. It keeps the sheet metal from being all wobbly.

WHat is this part called? and where can I get one? I was going to just make one but felt it would be easier if I could just order one for a couple of bucks.

Any help

Salvage yard or make one. I don't know the "official" name but I always called them fender supports.

yer lookin for these [front], or these [back] - most years should be available at the vendors under fender parts, or you can adapt another years to suit whatever ya got

33.00 each for a 2 foot rod? Sounds like highway robbery to me. If you must then buy one and fab a copy. That way you'll get them for half price.
