Hi all. I've looked all over for replacement wheel well panels for my truck. Mine aren't rusty but someone cut them out. I just want to get the original symmetry back into the look of the truck. Anyone have any resources or ideas? I've looked all over the web for panels and most info I found was from 2008 or older. Thought maybe someone like LMC may be producing the panels? Thank you.

welcome to the garage, your only hope is a post in the parts wanted here or a DIY fab job, no repro patches available and the beds are scarce ... stepside fenders [same as panel] could supply the basics to get the molded edge - just need to be stretched a bit

Thanks for the welcome Red. I have an english wheel but it is to big to build the lip and get the right roll. I have been looking for an eastwood fender roller to make the fender lip but I would rather rent one then buy as I wouldn't use it much. Thanks for the info on the burb and stepside. I will probably look for a couple stepside fenders and use the lip after stretching to get the contour.
