What does "what" mean?
The only way to replace is to cut-out the old and weld-in the new.
The size of replacement patch-panel depends on how much needs to be replaced (a few sizes are available).
The technique/precautions you use will depend on how much needs to be replaced.

As a temporary solution to get by until I had the time and money to properly restore the cab I hid them with pc's of carpet runner.
