Rear Quarter Panel

[Otis1978]

While replacing the rear passenger side quarter, I noticed the bottoms of the inter structure in the front and rear of the quarter are also rotted. Anyone know if those are available anywhere? I haven’t been able to locate them.

...heres the rear support...

Most of the metal are pieces I cut out of a wrecked 87 I have chopped into a million pieces now..."

So it looks like making my own is the only option at this point. Not many good donor trucks up here in Michigan.

Thanks Otis for the pictures and Mike for the information. Now what I do about these rusted out ares FIRST . Is find out where the water is coming from. Fix that. I have to get some tools and learn about welding and get me a build set up to work in. .This side cut out view picture is great. Check out the rain gutter and around the rear tire where wate comes in and the rear section --don,t forget to make a drain hole big enough for dirt to get out and have like a funnel made .So it can,nt enter. Again thanks alot for the pictures and articles Mike and Otis.

some times we need the specailty equp (brake, bender, english wheel, etc). I make do w/o but it's work I don't esp like ('body wrk'). A combo of brand new, used (if upto *****) and fabded happen on rare jobs. Never better than new (the specalists & ****) a 10 yr life span wrks for me... Unfortunatly just p/u a fox waggy so will B dabbelin like-wise (35 y/o LTD 3.8, C5).
