Front cab ventilation metal ?

My replacement cab has some extra ventilation from rust outs I don't like . Any one know a supplier for these vent corners at the left and right side of the cab ? You won't see this till the fender's and fender apron are removed .

You have several options:

- Source replacement metal out of a salvage yard
- Adapt sheet metal (e.g. already fabricated cab corners) from Sherman, Nat'l Parts, Auto Metal Direct etc
- Fab outright using shrinker and English Wheel
