Attached is a pic of the lower front left of my stripped cab. Can someone tell me what this rusted piece is called and if there is a patch panel for it?

I have had the same question myself and I'm pretty sure it is This.

Here is a thread about repair and a link to pictures in Alan57's album that I found helpful.

hard to tell just what that is, but it appears to me to be a DIY repair - the images Eric references from Alan may help you sort it out, you may need the lower pillar patch or the lower hinge pocket or the lower section of the air plenum with the drain

Thanks, guys. One of my problems is that I don't know what it is supposed to look like. Does anyone have a pic of a "stock" cab in that area?
