I think your going to find made in China, China, or China. I know some rust repair panel companies have stopped carrying them. 2 of the local places around here don't even list the numbers anymore. I put some on 10 years back on a 89 I sold and they are finally getting rusted again. Not bad for the salt infested hole I live in.

Find some late 80's early 90's crown vic hoods. Lots of flat metal to use. It makes good patch panels for me :mrgreen:

Hmm I remember in 06 I only saw 2nd gen stuff. Could have done it for a short time I must have missed.

LMC has never done our style trucks. They have only 94 up stuff. JC Whitney is one source.
I bought from these guys once I think. It may be where I got some rocker panels.
