I replaced my cab due to this. No patch panels available to my knowledge.

ouch that sucks, Chevy's like to rot out around the windsheilds when the seal isnt installed properly. There is a nice gap between two layers of metal there, I wish we could sue windshiedl installation establishments

You need to pull the under dash parts to fix your problem in that area, then you will see how the cab is put together and get some pics. We have sent right sides,left sides and center sections along with rear floors and rear of cab sections to people all over the country but i need pics and measurements.
