Door frame part...?
So there's a part of the door frame on my '79 right under the drip rail that has rusted through to the inside. I'm going to replace it, but I don't know what I need to do a search for. LMC truck doesn't have anything that looks like it
Thanks

I would cut the pieces/top off at a yard but I'm not a body-man. Price is cheap compared to ruining your donor cab... And if you foul up you still have your donor.
Nice looking truck btw! I have that same paint theme. Is yours the root-beer with metal flake?
On mine the PO installed a CB antenna and it leaked rotting out the whole top! Clear across the windshield and back to the rear on both sides....
The wind caught it one day and for a moment I thought I was going to be topless! Right now it's glued down with insulating foam inside and caulking on the outside; un-savable.
Having to give in this year and replace the whole cab.....

But if you look at the part, it doesn't appear to be side specific (its in the middle of door frame)

You shouldn't have any trouble finding a Dentside in a WA wrecking yard. July/August, spent 17 days driving around WA back roads.
Counted 20 1961/66's, 50 1967/72's and stopped counting Dentsides when I reached 131!

If the drip rails were same right/left, they would have the same part number. They don't, so they aren't the same.
