IL WTB door cut for patch

[71K5Randy]

Looking to buy a passenger side door cut that’s rust free, to repair a C10 door I have that someone started to modify the front lower corner to fit a C60.
Thanks!

Randy - I am currently working on one of my doors because of rust through in that same area - and many other areas
I plan to make that piece out of new 18 gauge metal.
If you can wait a little bit and would send me a piece of paper showing the size piece you need - or describe it with measurements - I could make you one when I make mine for $15 and shipping to you.
You didn't indicate if you only needed the outer skin part or if you needed the inner part also??

Here are a few photos of what I am dealing with - probably should have gotten a different door, but hey what kind of a challenge would that have been!!

I’m in need of both inner and outer. The inner would be more work to fab since it has been formed to add strength. Thanks for the offer, I’ll see if anyone turns up with any factory metal first.

This is just a comment, let's no get into a gauge war here...

I'm always curious why people use 18 gauge when the original metal is more like 22 gauge. I get responses that are something like it's the industry standard, etc. but you can lay bits of metal next to each other and see 18 is far far thicker.

Look at the difference in numbers. 18 is almost is almost double the thickness of 22. As I mentioned, side by side, the difference is vast.
