520 front fender rust - patch panels available or needed?

[Ofeargall]

Looking at these images, and knowing the age of the truck (1968), am I going to have to fab up some sheet metal to fix this or is there a patch panel out there for this rig? I cold see something for a 510, but a 520? I'm a realist... Is there a ballpark figure on this type of work?

 

Any help is much appreciated.

There are no patch panels. Just use sheet of the same guage.

 

Or what most of us do, buy good used fenders.

A 410 or 411 fender can be coerced into fitting, the turn signal hole would have to be cut. The 410 and 411 "wear" their turn signals on the roll pan. I did the opposite years ago. I fiberglassed a 520 fender turn signal hole and fitted it to My 411. Odds are however that any 410 or 411 fender you can find today would be rusted out in the same time honored PininFarina locations.

Shoot me a ballpark $ when you get a sec. No hurry. I need to get the brakes/clutch situation nailed down before tackling this. Oh, and a seat, and seatbelts...You know, just the stuff you need to be legal... Gotta get to Blue Lake!
