Do they make lower A-pillar replacements?

Well, I went and played with my new dually today and I found a surprise. In all my looking at what I thought to be the common rust areas and being so proud of how rust free this thing is I completely over looked the base of the wind shield. It is rusted at the bottom of the A-pillars on both sides. It is repairable and I don't remember it being a problem area so I can probably access good originals at the bone yard but I was wondering if they make replacement parts for this area? I looked at Classic which didn't show anything but frankly I don't know many parts suppliers for these things since I have never played with one.

Strangely enough it does not leak into the cab from these areas so I'm guessing it goes into the cowl area.

We put a starter on it today and drove it around the farm. I have found some 16 inch rims and we get some tires in the next few days. I am going to get the tiltle transferred tomorrow and tag it. I'm ready to get it home and find out just what I bought.

Thanks in advance, Kevin

I don't recall ever seeing those as a service item.

Thanks, is it a common rust area I'm just not aware of or did I get lucky?

It's amazing the floors, thresholds, cab corners, lower fenders and doors all perfect, I never really thought to look high since the bottom was so strong.

Mine is rusted though the outer A pillar at the bottom similar to where you're describing, as far as ive found im going to have to fab my own patch panel/cut one out of a donor truck.
