I actually just got one of those inner cowls in the other day. Overall I thought it was a really good part, at least on visual inspection.

There were only a couple of things I did not like. It was not entirely one piece. The face (toward the front of the truck) of the ends of the cowl that wrap around are seperate pieces that are spot welded in. Not a big deal will just have to weld up and grind smooth. The other was a few wrinkles in these areas during the stamping process. Should be able to grind down and smooth out. Other than that looks good to me. I attached a pic below with those areas circled.

I would show a test fit pic on my cab, but have to make some additional modifications. I shaved the vents off and removed the big dent in the cowl on the passenger side where the blower is at to make like the drivers side.

It's about $200 for the part, but due to the size was around $100 for the shipping. Got mine from Southern Kentucky Classics.
