That part isn't made. The way most guys do it is to use a truck rocker panel cut off at the curve into the jamb for the bottom section. This gives you the area with pinch weld you need and the correct curve that the truck patch panels don't have.

For the area above that use a lower door skin patch panel. It has the right shape and body lines to match where you are working. These two pieces combined together will make up that section you need.
