reamer Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 So any thoughts about making some replacement steel pieces ? If you can roll the radius farther, you can make patch panels for that part of he bed sides. Hi Pete I'm not sure there's a "market" for them. Do you need a set? Looks like it could be very difficult to complete a 340degree-360degree curl especially if you want the whole panel made.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean the rolled edge and the 4 or so inches that sticks out with it. Those areas are prone to rust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THat would be easier to attach, if the weld was at the fold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PetesPonies Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 but not including the bend. correct? Right, don't need the bend. Actually, it would fit both the older bed sides with the slanted edges and the horizontal edges , like the Bullnose trucks. I would be interested in several pieces.

I will "investigate" the situation, and do some "test rolls" with the appropriate ga. steel........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
