ok,i cannot find a bed for my 81 long ANYWHERE around here thats not rusted through.
My bed is completely rust free. All i need is the right rear lower corner as mine is very smashed in. Its just the part where it rounds the corner. Anywhere i can get a patch panel to weld in?

I beat and pryed it all back out but it has alot of metal fatigue and creases in it.I could bondo it...but i really don't want to try and reshape the corner with that crap.

also if i can get a smooth roll pan it would be great.i got the stock one back into line,but id like a smooth one.
If not,i can fab one of those....just cant fab the corner..lol

And yes,im aware NOONE sells stuff for this truck.was just hoping maybe someone had a wrecked bed with a good corner they would be willing to hack off and sell...lol

Have you called TAP-Toyota Auto Parts? They carry an ass of Toyota truck parts & will most likely have the part you need. As for a rollpan then try calling Steve at CanDo Specialties & see if he can make you one.

Rebuilding the corner is kind of like the way we used to fill tailights before filler panels were introduced to the market. Sure it takes a little time, but if you can't find a repair panel, it may be your best option.
