I sent you pictures of how one person has done the patchwork instead of replacing the fender.

Unless you can do the work yourself it would likely be cheaper to replace the fender than patch the spare tire depression.
No, that is the wrong shape rubber for the windshield. The right one is all one piece. Why do you think you need new windshield rubber, and why would you not want the proper 1 piece rubber?

Thanks, I've seen the pictures, my brother is a welder, the problem would not do, but I wonder if the part used is the same as it flips?

No, it is not. A patch would need to be formed which would be difficult to shape or cut out of another fender. You would need to be a good metal fabricator, body repair man, as well as a good welder. Most welders do not weld metal as thin as body metal and don't worry about controlling the warping and shrinkage that happens. Unless done right it can easily ruin the entire fender.

You can buy the windshield rubber that does not use the metal trim.

Hello one thing I've noticed is that the passenger door has to close the door locked and the driver did not see in most of them, this is because? and as the door closes?

The reasoning was that in the days these trucks were built, the roads were so narrow that it was dangerous to get out on the driver's side. Therefore, you would lock the driver's door from the inside and then slide out the passenger's side, locking that door with a key from the outside.

There are some driver's doors with locks, but they were an upgrade (5 star cab) and not very common.

the issue is that they send several emails to know shipping time and I have not replied to any, the case is that I need wheels for the last week of March, I have delayed sending the truck once and not can make another
