Metal Part of Dashboard

[gerlbaum]

Well, I am hoping someone can help me out with what to do because I am getting really frustrated. The metal part of my dash (part welded in your dash pad goes on) was badly messed up and not worth saving. So, I cut it out. Now, it appears there isn't one place that makes a reproduction metal portion that I can weld back in. Does anyone know of where I can find one? All the people on craigslist just want to sell the entire cab. Not really sure what I can do at this point.

I'd appreciate any advice.
