Auto body repair & detailing: cab corner on 96 chevy, chevy silverado, cuting

Question
it's a 96 chevy silverado ext. cab, the drivers side cab corner is rotted through to the point where the hole almost reaches the door. my Q. is, do they make replacement cab corners that go from the cab corrner to the door? it's about 2ft long, and if not i was thinking about getting sheet metal and cuting out old and welding in new, whould that work? thanks chris

Answer
Hi Chris,

To my knowledge no one makes a cab corner that size. If you know of any local manufacturers that have metal breaks and benders you might have be able to sweet talk one of the employees in to making you a panel. If you have any local large HVAC contractors you can check with them. They often have this type of equipment. Beyond that you'll have to patch it in the best you can.
