Help finding some patch panels
 
5 Attachment(s)
Good evening everybody hoping someone can help me. Finally starting back up on my build (took almost 10 years off for ids and family). I’m looking for a patch panel but can only seam to find it a the whole a pillar. Was thinking maybe someone might know of a company that sells it separately. Ill attach some pics of what I’m looking for but it is basically the kick panel were it curves under the wool by the windshield. Circled the panel I’m looking for and threw a pic of the kids and wife the first day we moved the truck from my moms to our house!!
Thanks in advance for any help

the inner kick panel? Piece-o-cake: https://www.amazon.com/Footwell-Kick.../dp/B00THK1L2A

The outer kick/vent "shell"? No-way jose. I do believe you'd need a donor truck for that.

Hey jumpsoffrock unfortunately I need the whole inner kick panel all the way up to were it curves and meets the windshield frame and cowl, I see it is available as a whole A pillar but at 800 bud a piece I’m trying to see if someone Makes it separate. I just find it hard to believe that someone out there doesn’t make it just haven’t found them yet

Well you have three options
1) buy the reman A-pillar and cut it down to what you need
2) find a donor cab
3) buy a bender and shrinker/stretcher and make them yourself

Out of the three I would go with option 1. Reason being you would be working with a new part that wouldn't require any repairs. But it might require work to make it fit properly. Option 2 would fit better but might require repair work to be usable.
Option 3 is doable if you have the tools and knowledge. But it would take a lot of time to make and fitup properly. That's my two cents worth
