Check out my submitted Tech tip on this subject.

If you got real lucky, someone may know of a partially rusted cab that has that area in tact and repairable.
When I was building mine I found an old truck that had been abandoned in the woods at the back of an old farm. Like you I could never find an aftermarket stamped out repair pcs.

while. What a shame that we lost him. Woody started his
project and joined up right around the same time I did. He
sure earned my respect over the years as to his restoration
ability. I've never meet a guy that would tackle as big of a
project as he did and do as fine a job. Really to bad he never
got to finish it up when he was so close to the end. I miss
the discussions we had and the wonderful way he documented
his work and shared it with the group. He's the one who got
me started with the photo documentation in the 'pbase' album.
That hinge pocket would be an easy one to fabricate if you
couldn't find a donor. Easy bends made in a vice and nuts
tacked to the back side.
