Check out LMC. I saw that they had patch panels for the style side bed. They also have the bed sides for the long bed. Maybe you could cut it down to fit.

Ignorant question so excuse me, but doesn't a shortbed have the same rear overhang as a longbed?
Just less space between the cab and the start of the wheel arch?

I never really measured, but it's something I should know.

As far as I know, yes. That has always been my understanding of it.

I don't have one to measure but I believe that is correct.

Correct. Short box is 15" shorter between the cab and axle, rear overhang is exactly the same.

that is good to know I wonder if it is a better repair just to replace complete bed side vs wheel opening & behind the wheel ? mine has just started to bubble ? Thoughts ?
