I found a truck with them today, and one side was mint, the other side was badly rotted.
I'm wondering how rare these filler panels are, and if there's a need for reproductions.

Can also send pictures of them installed on my son's 66 GMC.
He painted them a trim color and they look good. Install is pretty simple when you order them you can figure it out.

Just needs to be bead blasted or hit with a wire wheel on a grinder... no rust-through.
If the repros are sold individually, it'll save you a few bucks.
