Yup, it's got to be replaced. I'd love to just find one that I could just throw on. Any idea where I could get one of these? Anyone happen to see on CL a guy parting out his truck?

I depends on who you ask ...
I repaired this one also :
Up here in the rust belt ,we have to be concerned about how long the customer is going to keep the vehicle.
There is a lot more money to be made by replacing the panel ...

If you have a body shop do it for you ,the easiest way(for them) to repair it is to replace the panel.. If you are concerned about the welds from replacement rusting( and they will) , it should be dented out.. once the dent is pressed out (hydraulics) All that will be left to repair are the creases & the body lines .. Did you get any prices ?..
