That is a cab corner you have circled. The other part that isn't there is the inner rocker which you can see is just a piece of the floor. Assuming you'll need some cab supports too. That is not an unusual repair.

That looks like the rear pillar that is circled. There is a patch panel for that pillar, and it looks like you're going to need an outer floor extension piece, which includes part of the floor and the inner rocker down the whole side. I would imagine the cab corner also, if the pillar is in that bad a shape

hmm those are cool. I dont have much rust but I really wondered how I was going to form those peices without an english wheel or something.

Do they make such an animal for the bed rear corner under the tail lights?

No they do not. At least not one that is correct. WES
