My son and I bought a real neat project for this winter. a 1956 ford F250 stakebed. It has rust around the headlites so I was looking for patch panels but no luck yet. Do any of you know where they are available? Hate to buy new fenders. thanks ans have a happy Holidays.
I would be tempted to look for a set of used fenders. I have never had the issue with the eyebrows rusting out on mine. Look around Oklahoma And Texas.
And someone else will know for sure - I think the F250 has a larger wheel opening than a 1/2 ton - F100.
Check out EMS for patch panels. HRP http://emsautomotive.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=18_67
If you are new to 53-56 F series, you have to check out Mid-Fifty F100 parts. They have everything. But I have not seen any fender patch panels.
Early Ford in Springfield Ohio would be a great start. They stock and can get a lot of '53-5'6 Ford truck parts.
