has anyone found a good place to buy bed floor patch panels for 1st gen rams(1989)? I have had a hell of a time trying to find a place that sells them. or does anyone know if any of the Chevy or Ford patch panels work with 1st gen (1989) rams?

 

LMC truck??

 

unfortunately no, tried them, rock auto, summit. and struck out each time

 

Ok, now that's just bizarre. I can come up with EVERY other panel to build a whole new truck, EXCEPT the bed floor panels....

 

yeah, that's kinda what I thought. I am curious if another brand(Ford or chevy) would work for the 1st gen rams

 

Cut a chunk out of another pickup bed floor. The fwd end usually sees less wear/tear and rust

 

I've thought of that, unfortunately the salvage yards around here don't have any 1st gen rams

 

Try Car-Part.com. Don't know if folks would ship that stuff, but, ya may get lucky, and find a yard within driving distance.

 

I looked for this before and all you can find is cheby or universal witch is the same dimensions. Might want to look on craigs list for one being parted out.

 

Not salvage yards, private ads.... especially those "dodge parts - $20 and up" ones.
