What guage steel as used on the fenders and cab? To make rust patches do I use cold rolled, mild or what. Will work the best?
I will buy patches when possible. Who make the best quality?
Thanks, John

Most of the patch panels come from the same source. The source is a company that also makes the entire cab. Some of the older ones are from a different source and the older ones that I have seen are painted in grey primer. | | |
