Does anyone have a source for replacing the one piece rear panel for a 1978 CJ5 without the tailgate?
 
check out the advertisers at the top of the page if its not to bad you can patch it
 
I've already been that route. No one, and I do mean no one seems to carry them anymore. I've found a custom classic fab shop that did make them but stopped.

can you post a PIC
 
I buy Classic Ent parts because they are the original guage and not cheap thin copies. But if they do not have a part does the entire thing need replacing or just xut out a section and patch in a bit? A good hot rod shop should be able to do a killer job of old school sheet metal work. Modern stuff is replace entire panels and the techs are not trained as well as a HR shop who are trained to keep as much original as possible and cut and weld new stuff in.
 
Essexmo - I've tried to get a photo one here but I'm having issues.

BajaEdition - I've got the support frames and that's about all that is left. I think it's down to guessing on the original pattern and fabricating a replacement. 10x tougher that is.

I was just hoping there was someone that was still making them to make my life easier.
 
You can get the rear quarter panels and a tailgate, but I do not know of a place to get the tailgateless version.
 
BajaEdition - I've looked at that route as well. I may be mistaken but from what I've seen the corner panels are different for the tailgated version.

Thanks to everyone though I appreciate the help.
