Yes they sell patch panels for the bed. I know they have them for around the wheel well, not sure what other ones they have tho. Page 28 of their online catalog.

I used JCW and LMC panels, I aint got a bitch except for 2 wheel arch pieces didn't really match as nice as I thought they should with each other.

^^ this and LMC! Those are the only two places I use and they have always done well by me I've spent a lot of money with both places

They do sell just panels for a bed side rather than the whole side.

hey man i have bought panels from lmc truck, classic industries, and rock auto. they all fit good and work great. you aren't gonna get a perfect replacement unless you get one from chevy, and even then it might not fit right. there are a lot of people that make panels for your truck. Go with rock auto, they have good stuff and most of it is a lot cheaper than anyone else. year one has a lot of stuff too, but be prepared to pay about double as anyone else.
