Re: Rust on my cab is depressing me

Have you thought about making those pieces out of some sheet metal?

You might be able to cut the inside piece out with cut off disks so that you can salvage it for a pattern and take it to a metal shop where they can cut a strip of metal and then do the bends in a brake so that you have a formed piece. Or you can bend it over a form yourself to make the piece. The outer piece may be a bit more difficult but you can probably form the piece by hand with stuff you have around the shop.
