Body repair panels

Does anyone know of a company that sells body patch panels? I have rocker panel rust threw on the passenger side of my 87 pick up. I haven't been able to locate anything on google thats specific for Toyota's. I'd like to get a couple doors a hood an passenger fender aswell.

If you feel like a nine hour ride, I have two brand new doors and three hoods to pick from....there's a company in Quebec that sells rockers.

Thanks guys! The rocker panel is my main concern right now. Trying to get the worst spots done before winter hits. The rocker is all the way threw an the right front fender. The soors an hood should be good for the wintee.

Check out rockauto.com. They have some body parts on there too. The rocker panels for my 89 are only around $30.

LMC is good stuff (so long as you want to keep EVERYTHING factory), but they only deal in American brands.

My 4runner came with a set of rear quarter panels from this place. My dad bought them about 5 years ago when he had plans to revive the truck. They also do pickup panels, including rockers and wheel arches.

The rear quarter panels I had needed a LOT of fitting, but they were better than forming them from flat metal myself. Judging from their pictures though, they have either improved their panels drastically in the past 5 years or what they ship isn't the level of finish that the pictures show because the ones I got weren't nearly as nice as the pictures I just saw on their site.

I agree on the fit, not perfect, but workable.

and just to mention .. this is NOT 1960's fiberglass .. it will NOT shatter , we dont even get "spider cracks" in our products .. this is 21st century FRP
