55-59 - Do they reporduce the cages that the door hinge nuts go in? or am i fabbing?

I recently bought my Big Window Cab, and there are 3 missing nuts for the door hinges. I know these are usually a square nut in a cage so there is a little wiggle room for adjusting the doors...
Does anyone know if these cages/square nutes can be bought and re-welded in or am I going to be making something from scratch?

thanks

I couldn't find any for mine so I made these. You can access them through the kick panels.

I remade the nut with a piece of steel and a tap the Cage was still good but the bolt broke. I don't have a pic of it though

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, "Where's the self-help section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.
