[oletrucks] Patch panel metal

["Stephen" <slb1@humboldt1.com>]

Hello,

I am ready to start welding new metal patches on my '58 Fleetside.  What
type and thickness of steel should I look for?  I am patching areas on the
dash, bed sides, fire wall, fenders and the eyebrow above the windshield.
There are local wrecking yards but I have not searched them as I did not
what to look for in their stock.

Just got a nice Mig welder and am excited about getting the rust out.

Thanks,
Stephen
