aluminum saddle tank filler door with frame needed

Someone tried to steal my gas last night but the tank only had two gallons in it. They were pissed and ripped the door off also destroying the frame and bed side panel.
This is a aluminum filler door one on both sides of the bed for the extra tanks.
I'm in a world of hurt to replace this item.
The door frame 8" long x 7 1/2" high, door 6" long x 5 5/8" high with 8 sheet metal screws.
I believe this was a standard after market aluminum door used for many years.
If anyone has one in good condition I would like to purchase it as this is a super clean truck.
If I posted in the wrong section "sorry about that chief", Don Adams RIP.

That's a pretty standard RV item, might be able to find one in JCWhitney or an RV shop.

For a 68, were talking a item 39 years old. The company sticker on the other filler door is Travel Tanks, Orland California. Far as I know they are long gone.
Good point i'll have to check around.

Fritolay;
I just ran across a company that has the same doors in Southern Calif.

http://pakindustries.com/tank_door_info.html

They have the same brushed aluminum but the white power coat doors would blend in better as the truck is white in that area.

thanks for your help, Carl.....=o&o>.....
