Cab Corners - Why God why?

I ordered some new cab corners from the Car and Truck shop months ago. Never bothering to really closely examine them. I have been working on rebuilding the passenger side rockers, floor and pillars for the past two weekends. Finally see the home stretch- just the cab corner left to do. I pulled it out and started prep realizing- there is no 90 degree flange turning it back into the jam... What the? They are key parts corners.
Are they all like this? Does anyone make a corner that turns back into the jam?

not that i have come across. i have tried 3 different companies and all the same. i also have 3 sets in shop right now that came with trucks and those dont either. i figure they are all cookie cutters unless someone makes them that way and sells alot more then nobody will change.

Re: Cab Corners - Why God why?

do you mean where the cab corner wraps around the rear pillar area? if so then I know that someone does make them with that 'flange'. I ordered a set from dreamershotrods.com and they wrap around the doorjam. if that's not what you mean, then I'm curious what part you are talking about.
