Are there patch panels for a 1952 Ford F-1 for the front fenders?

thank you. I will try that.

I just bought a 1952 Ford F-1 pickup. All the hubs are seized up and won't turn. I was able to remove one of the front hubs. Can someone advise me how to remove the rear hubs? I may not be doing something right. (TIA)
