AR WTB patch panels for rear wheel well openings - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

i am looking for rear wheel well opening patches with indention around the edge , i dont think i can get them aftermarket the only is to probably find some to cut out of a no rust bed , let me know what you have

Critter · 12-02-2009, 05:24 PM

I might have some from a longbed, I'm assuming you are wanting SWB though???

**67cheby** · 12-02-2009, 06:02 PM

i dont think it would matter on the wheel well arches , i think either would work

Critter · 12-02-2009, 07:06 PM

Nope, lower corner in front of the tire is different. A LWB is sort of a sweeping corner where the SWB and Blazers are a hard corner. Sorry I don't have any pics at the moment but if you look around here a little you will notice it. If you are only concerned with the top and back portion of the wheel arch then you might be able to use either/or, I'm not 100% sure on that part.

from the body lines up is all i need

Critter · 12-02-2009, 07:19 PM

In that case a LWB might work. I did find some images on line you might compare, LWB on top, SWB on bottom. What side do you need?

**67cheby** · 12-02-2009, 07:27 PM

wow i never knew that ,, what a great website !! i could actually use both sides.. when we sandblasted mine there were several pinholes from the mud setting up behind there i guess anyway i figure it would be better to replace them i ordered aftermarket but they dont have the indention around the lip, that shortwide bed panel on the bottom looks like it has the indention , is it NOS

Critter · 12-02-2009, 10:23 PM

I believe I only have the passenger side available from my LWB so I don't think I can help you much. If you are only needing the arch I would suggest getting a patch panel from one of the board venders. They all seem to be great guys but the two I have dealt with personally are GMCPaul and Jon at TRI-PRO. I could be wrong but I believe both of these guys bed panels have the extra groove you are looking for. Give them a call and tell them you are from the 67-72 forum and they will help you A LOT.

Tri-pro

GMCPaul's

I'm not sure if the swb pic is of NOS or aftermarket, it was just the first one's I ran across on the web. Hope this helps, good luck!

some do come with the indention. the one i ordered from classicheartbeat did not have it, but it did have it on the suburban quarter panel, the long bed quarter panel did not have it. weird.
