Need some help with a replacement area.

The truck is a 79 f150 Lariat, shortbed, supercab. It has some rust through out the truck but nothing major beside this one area.

The area above and down the back of the rear side windows has completely rusted through. Does anyone know of some one whom might sale this as an replacement panel? I have looked in the obvious places like LMC & NPD. if I can't find anything. What should I do?

I have been told to just sandblast the area and fill with steelwool and fiberglass over. I don't really want to go that route, but it is looking like my best option.

I have been looking for a donner supercab with this area in good shape but no one wants to sale.

Anyone have a supercab that has good rear window metal?

do some tin-knocking. It's not all that hard especially if you have a sample area that is still good to match.

What is tin knocking? I'm familiar with body work but not a pro.

I can cutout and replace and bondo but have no true skills!
