KS Need '05 Tahoe W/W Arch - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Needing a section of the driver's side left rear door arch above the wheel opening for a 2005 4 door Tahoe. See the added pic for reference. Would like a 12-14 inch long section from the inner upper lip to the lower lip of the arch under the plastic (?) wheel well trim. Our Tahoe is rusting thru and a couple local body shops are telling me that section is not available? Has to be "hand formed" and the price they quote reflects that. Ouch! Naturally, color will not matter as long as the metal is solid since it will be paint blended in to match.

Nobody parting a ragged out '05 Tahoe? Think would be the same body section contours from '00 up thru '06 but not sure.

Have any pics of the repair section? Are you in Cal. or NM? How was/is metal section removed, torch or cutting wheel?

Thanks for the response but after doing a bit more searching locally I have found what I need in a Wichita salvage yard from a wrecked '05 Tahoe. Said they would remove the complete arch section so I can trim and fit as needed.
