Hi, I have a couple of stupid questions for you all.
I pulled my windshield and have found some hidden secrets

I have some rust going on in the windshield channel.
I will try to add some pics so you can see exactly what I'm talking about.
I will need to replace two spots. Passenger side top and driver side bottom.
My questions are:
Can I order after market panels to fix this and if so what are the panels called?
If I can't and need to cut up a scrap cab for my patches. I'm wondering what cabs are compatible. Is it 73-80 or 73-87?
Is there any difference between chevy and gmc cabs? Also is there a difference between a 1/2 and a 3/4 ton cab?
Thank you so much for your help in advance
