Broncograveyard has OEM and aftermarket body parts, you may also want to check out LMC truck, too.

are you going to replace the entire 1/4? or are you trying to get a patch panel?

a full rear 1/4 which is the back part of your door jamb, up to the seam just above the bottom line of the fiberglass top and all the way to your tailgate jamb is $205 from JBG.

you can take it from me that trying to put a patch panel on a dented panel will require a decent amount of work. Is it so bad that it cant be pulled out?

Well if you want it right then go for the OEM parts. Aftermarket panels are thinner than OEM, the reason they are less expensive and you will normally have fitment problems to get around, not unsolvable but a PITA.

Good luck,

i was looking at my bronco graveyard magazine and all i could find was aftermarket, and yes im replacing the WHOLE panel its pretty bad,im praying the frame isnt bent im thinking about just getting the panel from them because i just bought aftermarket carpet from them and was very impressed it is very good quality
