I don't know if Terry Glines is still on the list but he did a very nice job
on his 56 (?) panel using replacement door "skin" sheet metal and stepside
rear fender contours. . .surely someone on the list could direct you to his
web page where he shows how he did the work. I think custom, either do it
yourself or having a shop make them for you, are your most reasonable options.
There are a couple of sets of NOS rear quarter sheet metal for the TF
Suburbans and Panels floating around. . .I actually got a set from a dealer
in WI, but they are very hard to find and expensive. No one is reproducing
this stuff. If you were willing to go fiberglass, there are several shops
that would build it up for you. Seems most of us want metal or nothing
though.

<< Hello friends,
My 57 chevy panel has been patiently waiting for me to start restoring. I
need a source for PANEL truck parts. Pickup aprts seem to be no problem, but
where do I find rocker panels or other body parts unique to the panel truck?
Any help is appreciated.
