Post by: Redz on August 16, 2017, 07:59:43 pm

I have to replace the drivers side kick panel on my 83 where it rusted out. What's the best fitting replacement panels?   / Brothers trucks /national parts depot/ eBay. Just wanting to know what members on here have used and had good luck with.

I have ordered from this site at least twice that I remember. both times items came packaged very well not a single issue. and I know how some people dont give a rats ass about shipping easily dented/bent sheet metal

Yea I have to get the kick panels a floor pan and rocker. Lol if you ever go buy on of these trucks take a number 2 philips screwdriver and 7 mm socket an ratchet and pull the seal plates and kick panels if the owner will let you. I learned the hard way :o

Getting on the ground and poking at the corner of inner rocker and floor works too. Won't tell you if kick panel is solid, but the floor and rocker is typically the first to go.

Well the rocker is good but you have to cut it out to replace the kick panel so I'm going to get a new one
