I ordered a piece of pre-cut metal from http://www.onlinemetals.com/ it came in and fit like a glove. As you can see I put down the longest weld ever on it to ensure I had attachement all the way across the tail pan. Previous to these shots I used a grinder (cuttting disc) to cut the lower lip away from the tail pan. The metal is some of the thickest I have seen on this truck at about 12 gauge. I now have my stencils for the tail lights stenciled in and will be using a sawzall to cut them out. More pictures to follow as the mini-project progresses.
