Okay, so I'm trying to revive the rust bucket so I can get inspection. Already have inner and outer rockers and cab corner. But of course, I'm finding additional rot. I got my other parts from Raybuck and they look good. But I'm trying to locate the part in this picture. It's between the floor board and lower front door pillar. What would you call this and where can I find one? I've been googling for hours!!! What's the rotten piece called? Where can I get one?

Reason: Little response. Maybe confusing title.
Unless you're going for a concourse restoration, just get some sheet steel in the appropriate thickness and bang on it with a hammer / clamp it in a vice and bang on it with hammer/ fold it over your knee/ whatever works to give it the shape you want, and make a replace patch panel for the rusted out areas you don't have re-pops for.

I appreciate the answer. The Ford part is 9C3Z2502501A and it's around the $250 neighborhood. It goes from from the bottom of the door up to top of door. It's just a work truck and it wasn't my goal for perfection. I was just wanting to save some time trying to fabricate something since I'm no body guy. But as this is just a work truck trying to pass inspection, I'll just do as suggested and rough in a piece of metal. Probably take the needle scaler to the area, followed with some rust converter and paint or undercoating. The engineers at Ford should be shot for putting holes in places where they can easily fill with mud and water, but not easily drain out. Makes me want to move out of the rust belt for sure.
