Inner bed wall panels

Does anyone know where I could get these? Specifically for a flareside/sidestep or whatever.

My rear driver side panel has a rust hole in it RIGHT where the little reinforcement angle piece comes up and where it rolls from the floor up to the wall.

I was hoping to fix it and make it look stock but if its not possible I can always weld in a new piece and it'll just be squared off.

My best guess would be a place like Certifit, although I'm pretty sure they are a US only store.

I've never seen replacement inner panels for a stepside. Or a fleetside for that matter. Cut it out and weld in a patch may be your only option short of replacing the inner bed structure with a used one.

Sidestep beds are really hard to come by here and the ones I do find I noticed are rotted in the same spot.

However, in a stroke of brilliance as I was looking at the bed I thought.. I wonder if the right side is just the left side in reverse. Sure enough the back left is exactly the same as the front right.

So since my back driver side part is rusted, if i can find a stepside bed I can cut the front passenger side out, turn it around and weld it into my back driver side.

So the hunt for a stepside bed is back on. lol
