Topic: I need a #1 hard cover panel - somebody stole mine today

[cleed70]

Looking for a line on where to get a #1 hard cover panel as somebody stole mine while I was delivery a table to a friend I'm bummed out but I still need to get one.

[Enkei]

Check out ebay and Craigslist. There are always panel's on there for sale..

That sucks. eBay has em from time to time but it may be all three.

Fellow CAC member, "Didit" has actually PM'd me some brief instructions on how to mod the #1 panel so that it locks AND reinforces all at the same time.  I went out and bought some 1/8"x2"x4' angle iron from lowes at a whopping $17.  throw in a couple brinks brand 2" padlocks for another $18 at walmart, plus all necessary hardware, and for about $40, you #1 panel will never be stolen (or sag) again!  I have yet to perform this mod, actually, but will do a write-up when I do do it.

#1 is the one that is closest to the window if I'm not mistaken.

You are correct sir.    Number 3 is closest to the tailgate.

lol if he is not mistaken about which panel was stolen, no. 1 versus no. 3, then who would go through the trouble and not just take all of them?  just saying

probably thinks number 1 stolen when actually number 3...if I do the power tailgate locks won't this help this same problem from happening...

[oHIobellboy]

Well, the OP posted that his number 1 panel got stolen so I'm thinking he know what he's talking about. Maybe he had numbers 2 and 3 at home when he delivered the table and only had number 1 on the avy when the scumbag stole it.

bummer sorry to hear bout that. If it helps I have seen 2 sets in my area of Ohio on craigslist in the past month. They were $300- $500 for the set not sure of condition though

May I get this forwarded to me?  My 3rd panel sags pretty bad, and locking it wouldn't be a bad idea, either.

Thanks!

I have yet to do this, :P  However, I just dug out the angle iron from our shed and, despite a mild amount of surface rust, will be installing hopefully this summer.  I dont recall the exact measurements, but zap screws are perfect for fastening this puppy to our #3 panels.  The angle iron will bet slightly scuffed, hit with some rust reformer, rusty metal primer, and some truck bed liner. 

TIP: Just found out that lowe's sells truck bed liner like candy, for a whopping $6 a can, compared to almost $8 or $9 at walley world, lol.
