Any good source for full rust replacement panels?

Ive got a 1991 F150 extended cab truck that Im trying to replce the cab corners on. I bought a set of corners from JC Whitney and when I tried to fit them to the truck, they are not fitting properly. They bent them incorrectly. Anyways I've now got my old cab corner cut off about 16" up from the bottom of the cab and I am trying to find a replacement panel for it. I have a brother that works in a Ford dealership parts department and he said that Ford no longer stocks the replacement panels for my year truck. Ford had a replacement panel that includes the entire cab corner including the extended cab window. Anyone know where I can find 1 of these panels?

Thanks

Have you checked w/ a local bone yard? There's several near my neck of the woods and they've came through for me on more than once. You'll have to do the normal refurbish to it - I'd suggest media blast.

LMC is your next option. They're a little pricey for my tastes, however, in some cases, they may be your only option. They sell quality parts as well.
