1980 Ford F150 Regular Cab Corners and behind the seat

Bull80
Hello,
I need to replace a cab corner on my 1980 F150 Regular Cab  2WD Automatic.  I have found the cab corners but I also have an area that needs to be repaired on the passenger side behind the seat.  Please see the pictures.  Can you buy this part/sheet metal like the cab corners?
Thanks much!

My favorite place to get sheet metal is Tabco.  I looked there and didn't find what I think you are looking for.  But you should look as I might have missed it: https://tabcoparts.com/pickup-trucks/ford/pickup-bronco-1980-1998.html

I don't think anyone makes that so when in there on the corner you have to make that part and most likely the rear cab cross member that ties into the rocker.

I can't make out exactly what is wrong in the photo but do you have a local jy? Could cut that part out of another truck as your patch panel.

Here you can see the new rocker & rear door post but missing the cab cross member tie in to the rocker.


How I tied the cab cross member into the rocker inside the cab.

Then a brace from the under side from cab cross member to rocker.

All my patch panels came from Tabco.
