So for some reason a previous owner drilled a bunch of holes in the bed of my truck. and now they are rusted. So I need to replace them.

so any one know where can I get a replacement to weld in. LMC truck as one but they want more for shipping than the panel it self.

amazing I would have thought patches would be a lot easier to come by :think:

To bad I don't have a cordless grinder. I could cut my own out of my buddies truck. Some dark night :wink:

If it were me I would go to a salvage yard and cut some out of a fubared box. Prob wouldn't charge much of anything. As far as a portable method of cutting goes I would just go try to rent a cordless sawzall and bring a cordless drill with a big bit to get the holes started. just remember to cut your patches first then use them as a template to cut out your old bed floor and trim to fit.

Thank you John for your answer. I will see if I can find some where that rents a cordless sawzall or some other cutting tool. after all the trouble and cost of renting and driving I may just be better off getting the one from LMC
