What is the interior panel called opposite the cab corner?

I'm starting to get discouraged about all the problem areas with my truck. I bought cab corners and had intended to replace them myself soon but was under the truck last night and noticed the cab supports and panel on the interior (right inside the cab corners) have holes in them and need replaced. The ugly part is one cab corner I think is ok but that interior panel has a big hole in it.

What is that panel called? I didn't see it in the LMC book.

Without the means to take the cab off to replace all this, I wish I didn't have more than the value in it already as I would sell it and try to find one with less rust. I'm at a point now where it's not in a sellable condition for what I need to get out of it but sinking more money into it is going to put me where I'll have to keep it forever...

depending on the size of the holes a repair might
work . clean as well as possible . use something like
por-15 to stablize rust . epoxy putty the holes and paint
works well on smaller holes in places not easily seen

if you dont see the panel you need you can try our site vendors like captkaos or tri-pro automotive and see if they have them but some of the pieces just arent made and youll either have to fabricate your own or do a repair as described above

This one is beyond epoxy on the drivers side, the inner cab corner (found on brother's site) has a big hole in it but the bad part is the cab corner is fine. I guess there is no fixing that without removing the cab...
