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
Jameson

You'll need to fabricate it yourself, or harvest that section from a donor cab.

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.....

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

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!
