Looking for a body panel part.

[Oscars79k5]

I am trying to identify the correct name and source of the panel shown in the pic.
Mine are rusted out on both side. Any help would be appreciated.

welcome @Oscars79k5
Idk the name either, but i think it is still considered the firewall. I think you might have to source those used from a donor truck.

Other will chime in maybe with more accurate info for ya

I'm not aware of anyone selling those as a reproduction for a squarebody but I have sold them before from donor cabs. It is labor intensive to drill out all of the spot welds though.

if there gone make sure to look over the WHOLE rest of the fire wall / wiper cowl area good before going down that rabbit hole . only thing to rust them out is the water drains plugged up for years and held water . if there gone the rest of the fire wall area could be just as bad or worse .

Called Plenums in factory manuals
The lower part is reproduced called cowls. That’s all I’ve seen.
