So I have some rot that I discovered down at the bottom of the front of the cab/firewall, basically where the inner fender stops. Looks like someone along the way slapped some fiberglass over it and painted it (nice...). I guess I will put this on the list of things to fix next winter. I looked around DC and LMC and didn't see any panels available, anyone know of anyone that makes them? I guess otherwise I will try to cut it out , bend up something myself and then weld in some new metal.
Here is a pic looking up from underneath. The outer fender is on the right side of the pic.
Unfortunately, these cowl drains capture pine needles, leaves and whatever else can work it's way through the cowl vent to find its way down with one purpose in mind....sit there and rot the metal away. Most people patch the rot hole by graphing in metal. Others cut the entire drain out and fabricate a new one to weld in.

I've since acquired a donor cab in much better condition and only required a patch or two on the drains

Yup, this is exactly what I need...want to make me a set like that? Not sure I have the skills or tools to do that. Looks real nice.
PICS are below. These are from a 65 or 66 but it doesn't matter for what you need. You will drill the spot welds out (with a spot weld drill bit) where my fingers are pointing to the spot welds - and end up with a perfect repair panel. Let me know, I sent PM earlier.
If Carmax doesn't take them, I will for sure. My cab has the same issues.
All I want is what I paid for them plus shipping. I paid $100 each, so its $200 for the pair plus shipping. I bought a whole different cab, so I don't need these and just passing along.
