Hello All, I'm getting ready to refinish my cab. I pulled the front windshield and found a lot of missing metal due to rust. Do you know of a patch piece I can get or am I going to have to fabricate something?

thanks for any help, Mike

LMC Truck sells that piece. Link
Have no experience with it, but should work for you.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.

Mike,
If you plan on replacing the whole outer pillar panel, the assembly manual shows where the leaded joints are. I replaced the passenger side on my truck and also had to remove the drip rail as well. If you don’t have a copy of the assembly manual, let me know and I can send a pic of the page.
