Bead Rolled Behind The Seat Panels - 49-54 GMC Chevy Truck
Common questions
Does the panel arrive finished, or does it need work?
It arrives laser cut and formed in raw steel, ready to be fitted. Plan on final trimming to your own truck, then prep and paint - the parts are shipped bare on purpose so you are not stripping a finish off before you weld.
Can I bolt it in instead of welding?
On most panels, yes. Several carry laser etched markings to drill from if you would rather bolt them, and customers have welded, screwed, riveted and bonded them in. Check the Features list on this page for what this particular panel is set up for.
How much trimming should I expect?
Usually a few minutes with a cut-off wheel. Fifty years of body work, previous repairs and factory tolerance mean no two cabs or beds are identical, so the panels are cut slightly generous rather than short. Test fit before any final welding.
How do I know it fits my truck?
This part is listed for 1949–1954 Chevy and GMC 3100, 3600, 3800 and Suburban. The full year, make and model list is in the Truck Compatibility tab on this page. If your truck has been modified, or you are between two of the year ranges we list, send us the year, make and model and we will confirm the fit before you order rather than after.
How long before it ships?
It is a stock item and leaves our warehouse in 1-3 business days. Transit after that is typically 2-5 business days in the United States. Larger orders can arrive in more than one box on different days.
What if it is not right for the truck?
You have 30 days from delivery to return it by mail. Return shipping is on you, and the part needs to come back uninstalled and unmodified - once a panel has been trimmed or welded it cannot go back. Made-to-order items are final sale. The full terms are on our returns page.

High quality and fit and finish was fantastic. I recommend this product
Panel are well made nice quality. Ordering was easy . Shipped fast. Very pleased
The order was received early!! Craftsmanship is excellent and the panels look great. No two 70-some-year-old cabs are the same so expect to do a little trimming/fine tuning.
Packing was a small issue. The panels are not flat and were packed with molded foam strips to keep the panels cushioned and separated. Most of the strips came loose during shipping so there were a few minor scratches. Ya gotta sand before painting anyway so not really a big deal.
Overall, another awesome LS Fab experience. Thanks!!
Beautiful. Great fit.
