front door pillar support - re-enforcement

[Ace in the hole]

I am working on the rust on my cab, I bought the front door pillar support like the one pictured. My question is that there is a support re enforcement piece that bolts in behind the brace, where can I get them? or do I have to custom make them?

I think the front fender bolts into that hole there, if that's any help

Try this thread, he's replacing his pillars as we speak.

you are correct, the fender bolt goes thru the large hole and also goes thru a thick re enforcement piece. that re enforcement piece also gets bolted in with the two bolt holes that go thru the rocker backer. The re enforcement piece is the one I am looking for.

I made mine out of 12 ga;and 2" in freeze plugs and they are very worth the trouble . Really strengthens the support and the fender mount.

thanks, I was looking at the piece that was rusted into the pillar section I cut out and was thinking along the same lines. It would not be to hard to fabricate one with a chunk of steel and some washers.

Here's a link to an old post of mine with pics, might be able to score some from a junk cab. I was missing one, got missed on the assembly line I think.
