quarter panel q's
I have the oppurtunity to get a cherry hood, fenders, and set of quarter panels off a 4runner.
Only problem is.. the 4runner is a 4runner, and my truck is a longbed.
Now, I understand that nearly everything is identical, but the rear fenders look a bit different to me. I also noticed that the gas tank fill neck was in a different location. If i patched these panels onto my bed, would it be possible to bend my fill neck forward to the one off the 4runner?
Or, should I get the hood, fenders, etc. And just fiberglass my rust holes like I had planned to. And then do the cliche black bedliner body line?

You should def fiberglass it and let me have the panels for my 4runner. Kidding, depends on what you think is the perfect combo of easy and looks. Wanted to say though that it shouldn't be hard for a good parts store to match the color and for you to fade it out and have it come out looking acceptable for most uses. More so than the black body line IMO. Just finished repairing my quarters as well -

Paint was matched by Sanel Parts, they'd probably ship it.

Well either way is going to involve bodywork.
If I patch panel, it'll be a full bed paintjob..
If I do a fiberglass fix, it'll be a minimal paintjob.
Also, the front fenders and hood are red and match my paint.

Yeah I think I'm just going to glass over the rust holes and bondo the crap out of it.
Or make a flatbed. Either way, the fenders and hood are gonna be miiine
